Synopsis

Jonas, 12, is already head of his family. He has been helping his two younger siblings and supporting his mother, Sabine, since his father left. Sabine is loving towards her children but she often loses her patience and disappears into her room for the day. Mysterious demons drive her to spend a weekend away to relax in the "sunny valley". But the weekend grows into weeks in which the three children hear nothing from their mother. Food and money have long since run out and the house has become more like a haunted castle. How long can the fairytale last?
