Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, known from the acclaimed Icelandic detective series Trapped and American Emerald City, plays here a single father who wants to fulfil his daughter’s wish and organises a pyjama party for her and her friends. A joyful party rapidly gets out of control. Nanna Kristín Magnúsdóttir subtly provides us with different clues and asks various questions which are more and more disturbing. It all leads up to the finale in which love clashes with cruelty. Demons are lurking under the idyllic surface.
