Synopsis

When her workplace, an employment agency, turns out to be haunted and under the threat of becoming contaminated by mold and performance targets seem too high, service manager Anneli Tiainen (Elina Knihtilä) resorts to peculiar remedies in the impossible situation. But one misstep makes matters even worse, demands get bigger, and Anneli is afraid not only of her secret being revealed but also of the strange phenomena that start occurring in the everyday life of the agency, one stranger than the other. The visions, ghosts and scary mould formations tormenting Anneli drive her to the border of madness. When the walls of the welfare society start crashing down—literally—around her, she has to make a choice: either give up or put herself on the line. Format: 3 x 60 min.
