"Treads the line between the psychological and supernatural, gracefully at first, and then with increasing abandon."
- Arizona Republic
"The scary moments are there, but they take patience. And then they take you by surprise." - Boston Globe
"It's chilly in Oslo, and in this movie, the better to sneak up on you quietly, like an unexpected shiver."
- Seattle Times
Thelma, a shy young student, has just left her religious family in a small town on the west coast of Norway to study at a university in Oslo. While at the library one day, she experiences a violent, unexpected seizure. Shortly after, she finds herself intensely drawn toward Anja, a beautiful young student who reciprocates Thelma's powerful attraction. As the semester continutes, Thelma becomes increasingly overwhelmed by her intense feelings for Anja, feelings she doesn't dare acknowledge, even to herself - while at the same time experiencing even more extreme seizures. As it becomes clearer that the seizures are a symptom of inexplicable, often dangerous, supernatural abilities, Thelma is confronted with tragic secrets of her past, and the terrifying implications of her powers.
