Body of Water
Julia Mannerla is a young, successful lawyer whose life is a balancing act between motherhood and career. Divorce and battles for custody of her son have added to her complicated and hectic life. For many years she has been in conflict with her father, believing him to be partially responsible for her mother's mental illness and subsequent committal to an institution. Taking her son with her, she returns to her childhood hometown to assist a team of environmental activists in their struggle against exploitation of the area's natural resources. But in the middle of the Finnish woods there is a small, dark lake cloaked in superstition. In the little town Julia is not welcomed by the inhospitable locals, and the old house by the lake where she stays, seems to have a life of its own. Beginning to doubt her sanity, she gradually uncovers an unpleasant family secret hidden within the house. As myths and old superstitions float to the surface in this psychological thriller, Julia is forced to confront the greed of the locals and their trust in the spirit believed to be attached to the lake.
