Inger (Gråböl) is hospitalised for schizophrenia. Her sister Ellen (Christensen) and brother-in-law Vagn (Berthelsen) take her with them on a coach trip to Paris where she lived and was happy until her lover left her and she fell ill.

Inger is often frightened and says inappropriate things. One of the other passengers   (Malling) says cruel things about her and demands that she be put off the coach, but his young son Christian (Coker) befriends her.

It has beautiful scenes from Giverny and the Normandy beaches. It is filled with despair, humour, heartbreak, friendship, fear and love. It is one of the most emotional films I’ve seen.
