    Brief synopsis

    Julia and Tobias seem to be the perfect couple. Yet behind the facade and designer kitchen, trouble is brewing. Their fragile balance is shattered when their daughter Marielle suddenly develops telepathic abilities, giving her the power to see and hear everything her parents do, day and night. The couple soon realizes the lies they’ve been telling each other will not get past Marielle anymore. As Julia and Tobias' most uncomfortable secrets are exposed, they engage in a manipulative game, leading to increasingly awkward, absurd situations and unleashing unexpected consequences…
