Spoilers ahead

Immature and naive bachelor Rasmus, Anders Juul, meets the sophisticated Marie, Amanda Collin, believing he has found the love of his life. Marie moves in with him and immediately begins to exert control over his everyday world, reshaping the apartment, selling his CDs, and, more tellingly, writing his schedule on the kitchen whiteboard for her eyes only. As the relationship tightens its grip, Rasmus’s attempts to push back are met with gaslighting and a quiet, persistent reinforcement of Marie’s own wants. The dynamic is intimate and unsettling, with each small instruction from Marie nudging him further from his former self and deeper into a pattern that she curates.
