A documentary by Ásthildur Kjartansdóttir focusing on two Thai women who originally came to Iceland to work in the fisheries but later settled with two Icelanders in the Öxarfjördur-region in the North-East of Iceland, one of them a shop-keeper and the other a sheep-farmer.

While Sam is away getting equipment for his father with his friend Alex, his father gets sucked into the other dimension, and a creature from the parallel universe escapes, pursued by another. The first temporarily traps the second with its spit, attacks Desmon, and becomes a duplicate, absorning his thoughts from the unconscious body. The other manages to get free, and unable to find a human to mimic, finds the poster of Jasmine...
