The film features Jessie Kleemann, a famous Greenlandic artist, reciting poetry about her childhood. A childhood in which she was sexually abused by a group of men in the village Upernavik, in north-west Greenland. The text describes the continuous assaults, the humiliation, the smell, the absent mother my numbingly deaf mother and the mechanisms, which Kleemann used to survive the many years of living nightmares. In the most beautiful way, the poetry describes how she would fly around in the room, as a little mosquito, not feeling or sensing anything, as a objective observer. She describes how the child has left, to never return, and that is OK.
