But in a matter of days, his entire world is turned on its head. A life-threatening disease and a wild infatuation make him question his life choices. Has he spent his time on the right things, the right people?

Henrik receives a strange message from an H.C. Andersen, asking questions about a dilapidated old property called “Paradise” outside of Helsingborg. The plot thickens as it becomes clear that its owner is Henrik’s elderly mother, who appears to nurse a great anxiety when it comes to the house.
