Synopsis
Single mother Anna moves with her 8 year old son to a big flat with secret address outside Oslo to get away from her violent husband. Anna is scared stiff that they will be found, and is under heavy watch by a couple of child care workers. She get's the idea of buying a baby call so that her son doesn't have to sleep in her bed, only to find that the babycall picks up another troubled child somewhere in the flat. She meets shopkeeper Helge again when she complains about the baby call, and finds comfort in this shy guy which obviously also has a troubled past.
