Student Mary begins her holiday enjoying boat trips, visits to her affluent fiancé, and gardening. Directors Louise and Jakob Fleck employ rapid, rhythmic editing to create a light‑hearted urban romantic comedy, but a single pivotal scene shifts the tone dramatically, turning the story into a stark melodrama that confronts sexual violence, shame, and a reversal of perpetrator and victim roles.
