Story
When successful archaeologist Ursula Scheuer makes a sensational discovery of a body during a bog excavation, her demented mother suddenly dies. Unexpectedly, a childhood trauma breaks out for Ursula. The appearance of her new assistant Mel is also puzzling: she seems to know Ursula’s past very well. Ursula is increasingly drawn into a mysterious web of fantasies and deceptions and must finally free herself from it.
