——

Robin hates having to play a different ‘character’ of herself in any social setting. Why can’t she be the same at work, with her friends, and with her family?

At work she is required to be strict and stern, while she would really like to be nice to her employees.

Then, after a night out, she enters a new world in which people seem to have lost their inhibitions. In which they are themselves and don’t care about society, norms, values, and rules. Will Robin be able to find peace with all the masks she is wearing?

Ramona is a single mother of two boys. She's full of life, but life has a cruel way of returning the favor. Suffering from lung cancer, she makes a vow to see her children grow up. At any cost.

The family is followed at three points in their lives, in which events ensue that test Ramona's survival. Dylan, her youngest, sees one of his troll dolls coming to life, telling him to take good care of his mother. The troll will appear at these events to help Dylan guide through his mother's illness. But why is the troll really there? And is Ramona's vow strong enough for her to stay alive and be with her family?
