Synopsis:
Maren, a strongminded young woman, is seen by authorities to be promiscuous and is therefore sent to the women’s institution in the small island of Sprogø. Here she is to learn how to behave as a proper young woman. She has to share a room with SØRINE who has already internalised the story about herself and has learned to behave properly. Sørine is to help Maren settle in Sprogø and help her change her behavior. But Maren does not comply with the system which ends up having fatal consequences for both herself and for Sørine. The film is inspired by actual events on the women’s institution of Sprogø in Denmark in the 1930’s.
