“Still Waters” is a gothic and erotic tale centered around water and a cult with destructive undertones.

Niko, who struggles with insomnia and a strained relationship with her mother, has been in a relationship with the gallery owner Mira for a year. Eerie elements begin to pile up around Niko: while Mira is wonderful, Niko is afraid of her, and Mira turns out to have closer ties to the charismatic cult leader Tarja than anyone had suspected.

An elderly art collector approaches Niko, fascinated by their androgyny. Moreover, a dark secret lurks within the art collector’s wealthy family, stemming from a violent incident by the water.

Edith Hammar’s original and atmospheric work explores issues surrounding conservatism, shame, and sexual politics.
