Eini (Blanka Engström) is a young girl who lives deep in the Swedish forests with her father (Lennart Jähkel). First seen berating his daughter for accidentally breaking a glass and then trying to hide the evidence, Eini's father is a fierce control freak and religious zealot who regularly and ritualistically counts up the household's meagre possessions as a means of discovering Eini's infractions of his tyrannical rules. The deep roots of this family psychosis are revealed through a parallel narrative, related through animated sequences that depict the religiously inspired abuse of the women of Eini's family. This dreadful tradition dates back to Eini's grandmother, who becomes a figure of almost mythic import for Eini - both as a symbol of freedom, and as the reason for the girl's suffering in the present.
