Children

The story centers around Karitas, a single mother of four, as she battles for custody of her daughters while struggling to support her family. Her son, Gudmund, faces severe bullying at school, and his only ally is Marinó, a mentally ill man living nearby. As Marinó's reality begins to unravel with the discovery of his mother's secret relationship, the film delves into the complexities of their lives.
