Synopsis Jacob has barely managed to come to terms with his sister Julie’s attempted suicide (an incident which has left her seriously disabled), when she announces her marriage to Anker, whom she apparently met on the internet. But then, on her wedding night, Julie manages to successfully take her own life: slashing her wrist in the hotel bathroom. Some months later, Jacob remains disturbed about Julie’s death, and tracks down her former husband, now living in the eerie rural village of Murk, and about to marry another disabled women.
