Anne (Trine Dyrholm) is a successful Danish lawyer and lives in a beautiful secluded home with her physician husband Peter (Magnus Krepper) and twin preadolescence daughters. When Peter’s teenage son from another marriage, Gustav (Gustav Lindh) comes to stay with them, a battle of wills between father and son isn’t helped by Anne’s coldness towards the boy. Overhearing Gustav have sex with a young woman he brings over seems to jump-start something dormant in Anne, however, and some reckless decision patterns at work seep into her home-life when she seduces Gustav.
Soon, the young man can’t keep his hands off her and eventually Anne is forced to exert the privilege of her position to avoid disrupting her comfortable existence.
