Jette's father has decided that she should take a sabbatical. It'll do her good to do voluntary work in Costa Rican hospital, explore the world and learn to take care of herself. A chance of a lifetime, right? But her father has completely forgotten to ask Jette what SHE wants. How will she ever leave the nest if her father keeps making every major decision for her? This coming-of-age drama zooms in on the difficult relationship between a controlling father and his rebelling daughter.
