After many years apart, Emilie meets her brother Jakob again. She not only shares her sadness about the loss of their parents with him, but also a well-hidden secret. A film about two siblings, Emilie and Jakob, about their deep love for each other, as well as their own happiness. Two things that do not always coincide. Can the two siblings really live a love that must remain invisible?
"Stories about people struggling with an internal dilemma fascinate me. From the outside the love between Emilie and Jakob hardly differs from any other love. But on top of the confusing feelings of conventional love, their love is characterized by the forbidden. Fulfilled by their love, they are nonetheless not allowed to live it. How does one live with feelings that should not exist?" (Samuel Perriard)
