A surprising and restorative encounter with an octopus
Vigga is an introverted young woman who wishes her world would never change. The only thing that matters to her is being with her best friend, Maiken. However, their bond rests on a delicate balance. When Maiken becomes pregnant, Vigga panics at the idea of losing her only friend. Drifting from one temporary contract to unemployment, she has just started as an intern at the Ocean, the public aquarium where she meets Rosa, an exceptional octopus who will shake up her life. Rosa has the ability to change color while sleeping, has no skeleton, her arms can move autonomously, even stretch to twice their length, and above all, she possesses a very high intelligence that is essentially asocial. Vigga has finally found her alter ego and throws herself wholeheartedly, “a compass needle planted in her chest”, into this interspecies relationship that pushes her to question her deep identity and her perception of the world. But she will also have to learn that everything that lives must die.
