Several friends travel to Sweden to study as anthropologists a summer festival that is held every ninety years in the remote hometown of one of them. What begins as a dream vacation in a place where the sun never sets, gradually turns into a dark nightmare as the mysterious inhabitants invite them to participate in their disturbing festive activities.

This is a sun-drenched nightmare, a disquieting folk horror that slowly unravels into hallucinatory dread. It feels like a ritualistic descent into catharsis, exploring the unsettling beauty of grief and toxic attachment amidst a brightly lit, yet deeply disturbing, pastoral setting. Prepare for a visually stunning, psychologically intense experience.
