As the two women become close, a chilling secret is revealed. With Alfred Molina. Emanuel is a troubled teenage girl. She is attracted by her mysterious new neighbor who changes absolutely her life.

Tackling the pain of motherhood and guilt of daughterhood, director Francesca Gregorini builds unbearable tension into scenes that otherwise risk tilting toward melodrama.
