A lawyer initiates a sexual affair with her teenage stepson in this Danish-Swedish drama that picked up the Audience Award at Sundance.

"May el-Toukhy's precision-tooled melodrama stars Danish icon Trine Dyrholm (The Collective) as Anne, a mother and lawyer specialising in child abuse cases who throws caution, ethics and everything else to the wind by seducing troubled stepson Gustav." (Sydney Film Festival)
