A delightful, joyful, peerlessly exciting documentary. A story so full of surprises, eccentric characters and incredible events that only a Scandinavian writer could dream them up. Only now the whole story is real.

Norwegian sisters Kari and May buy a flat in the Swedish hamlet of Gullspång. To their biggest surprise, the shop assistant, Olaug, has a striking resemblance to their older sister, who committed suicide 30 years earlier. Her name is also Lita.  The believing sisters immediately think of a miracle. This was meant to be. The lonely Olaug is welcomed with open arms into Kari and May's large, warm family.

This is just the beginning of a phenomenal rollercoaster in which coincidences and revelations succeed each other faster and faster. The deeper the sisters dig into the family history, the stranger, more exciting and scarier it gets.

Inimitable as life itself, the film's plot changes several times. A fascinating family drama becomes a Coen Brothers comedy, an unadulterated true crime and ultimately Twin Peaks in real life. Nothing is what it seems. Or is it?
