Spoilers ahead
Noomi Rapace as Anna and Vetle Qvenild Werring as Anders move into a spacious flat on the outskirts of Oslo, hoping that distance from their past can shield them from the violent ex-husband who might still try to claim custody. They are watched over by the intermittent visits of Grete, [Maria Bock], and Ole, [Stig R. Amdam], two child-care workers who warn Anna that the custody battle could reopen at any moment. To keep Anders safe, Anna initially makes him sleep in her room, but when the case workers discourage this, she buys a baby monitor to keep a constant vigil from afar, a decision that will blur the lines between protection and fear.
