The psychiatry department of a young doctor Cora has just admitted a young lady who refuses to speak and whose identity remains unknown. Cora becomes fond of her patient and establishes a relationship which goes beyond the usual course of treatment.

Her name is Loa, she is a stranger, she has been sent back home…to Iceland. Cora, who had no idea of this woman's life outside their relationship, is deeply moved : she decides to meet up with her in order to finish the treatment.

Plot summary

Cora, a young psychiatrist, has recently started handling the case of a young woman who refuses to speak. No one at the hospital knows her name or where she's come from.

Cora feels as though the woman is calling out to her. She becomes quite attached to her and establishes a relationship that slips further and further away from prescribed therapeutic procedure.

It's then discovered that the young woman is a foreigner. Her name is Loa and she comes from Vestmannaeyar, a small Icelandic island.
