Jessy

The emotionally reserved 13-year-old Jessy can hardly recall what life was like when her father Miro was still around. It's been seven years since he's been sent away to prison. In her protected cocoon, Jessy doesn't let anyone in, anyone except her mother Lilja. The two have a symbiotic relationship which is endangered when Jessy's father returns unexpectedly from prison. Forced to get familiarised with the stranger that has now invaded her territory, Jessy learns how to open up and redefne her own boundaries. A wild teenager named Max who works at the same Garage that Miro used to work at, encourages Jessy to let her guards down and lose control. Jessy fnds herself drifting from one dependent relationship to the next in an attempt to fnd her own self and a sense of Independence.
