Plot summary
"A film about people who have committed and experienced one of the worst imaginable acts - to have caused the death of one's own child. Through their own stories, a picture of an unrelenting nightmare unfolds, something we can all relate to on a frighteningly simple level. In addition to the internal panic, suffering and self-loathing, factors such as society's response, support from family and friends, or quite the opposite - scorn from acquaintances and colleagues, online hate and sometimes even accusations of murder or homicide - come into play." (the production company's synopsis)
