Quake

Synopsis

On a snowy day in Reykjavik, Saga, a single mother in her late thirties, is suddenly hit by a fierce epilepsy seizure while walking in a public park with her young son, resulting in total memory loss. Afraid of being considered unable to care for her son, she attempts to hide her state from others and occupies herself digging for the answers she needs from within. As she struggles to gather bits and pieces from her forgotten life, repressed memories that Saga unconsciously blocked as a child suddenly start to come back, revealing a painful truth about herself and her past. Based on the best-selling novel Grand Mal by Auður Jónsdóttir.
