\u00bbViolence in the family occurs at the point of greatest protection \u2013 home. Yet home is no longer a place offering security and safety, a place where one can find strength for school, work or hobbies. Nor is it the place where you can develop your identity and grow up slowly. No, this home has changed into a nest of secrets, lies and identity disorders. It has become a reason to isolate yourself, clam up and withdraw\u00ab.
\n\u2013 Kirsi Liimatainen<\/p>\n
It was all meant to be different, better. After all, Robert, the father, recently came back home following a course of treatment. The family seemed reunited and intact. But nothing has changed. Robert cannot contain his aggression against the mother.
\nEach of the three daughters seeks her own way out of the threat: Moni, the youngest, shuts her eyes and reacts to the situation with anger. The oldest sister, who has long since moved out, calls round a lot but merely to provoke and complain. The thirteen-year-old Johanna remains silent, keeps everything a secret, tells lies. All three of them keep up appearances to the outside world \u2013 out of shame and for fear of breaking up the family. When Joanna falls in love with Christian, this facade of concealment and turning a blind eye is shattered unexpectedly. Johanna wants to save the family and protect her mother and her little sister, but she would also like to experience her first love.<\/p>\n
