The father has lost his grip on reality and smothers his teenage boy's life as he tries to protect the boy from the evil of the world. Instead of chains the boy longs for consolation and also finds it- in the same sea his mother drowned in ten years earlier. The film is spoken in a Kven, which is a minority language in Scandinavia.
