This debut feature by the Danish filmmaker tells the story of Marie who lives in a small fishing town in Denmark with her invalid mother and a father. She’s attractive, and soon experiences all the sexism and restrictions of small-town morality. Then, the growing pains of a healthy, spirited young girl start taking a scary physical turn. We witness one of the most graceful transformations into a werewolf - and Marie embraces her new identity. We start seeing her mother’s unspecified illness in a new light, and the measures taken by her protective father, and the nature of violence and aggression in quiet, religious societies.
