Mattias feels the need to prove to Hanna that he can be just as adventurous and unpredictable as she is. He risks everything dear to him, not knowing yet, that Hanna’s bold acts are only the symptoms of bipolar disorder. In the moment of jealousy, Mattias accidentally commits a crime that could put him behind bars for years. The only escape he sees is to get himself declared irresponsible.
