Agnes and the Ocean is a sensory fairytale chronicling medical professional VIBE (45)’s quest to save her terminally ill daughter AGNES (9). Agnes has cancerous tissue spreading in her lungs, and the doctors’ advice to Vibe is clear: enjoy the time you have left and let go. But Vibe cannot. She brings Agnes to her own birthplace, the district of Thy by the North Sea in Jutland, in order to carry out her secret treatment, transferring her own tissue and life force to Agnes. Aided by her mother RAGNHILD, Vibe’s treatments begin to take an effect, but they have an unexpected result on Agnes, mutating her body into something out of a fairytale.
