REALITY EXCEEDS POEM!

A dramatic documentary about family, secrets and our need to have something to believe in.
A sign from God leads two Norwegian sisters to buy an apartment in Gullspång, Sweden. When they meet the owner at the real estate office, she is a carbon copy of their dead older sister, who committed suicide 30 years earlier. What begins as a fairytale family reunion develops into a thrilling drama about lies, secrets and the importance of faith.
