Lily is fundamentally different, somehow special and thus socially inept. She lives in harmony with nature in a bizarre fantasy world where she does exactly what she wants. She lives together with her mother in the parental home they share in the countryside. The death of her mother brings a caesura. Previously living in Paris, Lily’s married sister Clara now feels obliged to return to the country home and take care of her younger sister. But Clara soon begins to sing to another tune. While under Lily’s freedom-loving influence, Clara gradually gets a taste for the autonomy presented to her by her sister. She begins to question her formalised life, which presents a fundamental challenge to her marriage.
