Christmas is approaching, and with it, the desire for harmony, beauty, light and hope. Being unable to cope with her parents’ conflict, Alex makes a radical decision. A day later she finds herself in the adolescent psychiatric emergency unit. There she meets three other young people: Lara, the striking daughter from an academic family, who’s having acid flashbacks; shy Fedja, who is being bullied at school; and violent Timo, who has just been moved from the closed ward. Under the care of the young psychiatrist Dr. Wolff, they will spend a Christmas together that none of them will ever forget.

Presented in association with Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival (SMHAFF).
