Not really sure what the story here is. It starts out as a movie about a dancer, but it turns out she keeps falling. We find out she has some issues with either her stepfather or her father, it isn't very clear. She is part of some religious cult which makes you feel "hm, this cult kind of sucks." Then she joins another cult, that cult sucks too. The movie suddenly ends.
Plot summary
On the surface 19-year-old Mirjam's life appears perfect. She is a world champion freestyle disco dancer and the pride of her modern, evangelical church. Yet her body is calling out for help and at the dance world championships, where she is defending her title, she collapses on stage. Her family's solution is for her to focus more on her faith. In search of answers, she turns to a stricter, more conservative church.

Ending
Good premises, but lacks structure
I much agree with the reviews written by JohnFilmFreak and bente_rogne.
I think the beginning of the movie is very good and interesting, about a young girl being a champion dancer but struggling with bulimia. But then the focus changes to her very religious family, and a very creepy stepfather. Which is also interesting; it just gets too much and we never really learn anything about anything,a dn move constantly changes its focus.
Overall the acting is great; it's nice to see Josefine Frida move on from her character of Noora and does so convincingly. None of the adults are very likable. But acting is good.
I think the "attack-scene" towards the end of the movie was distasteful. Way too similar to what actually happened at Utøya at 2011 when 69 people were killed.
Dont watch this
One of the worst movie I've ever seen.. And norwegian critics gave it amazing reviews.. Probably just because it is norwegian.. There is almost no story, just things that happens, but it filmes in a way that makes you feel bored the entire movie.. Interesting topic, but you cant just pop by topics and then forget about it to seconds later.. Feel like the characters are so unrealistic too.. Shes in a strict religious family, but she have tattoos and both her and her sister do discodance in tiny clothing, dont think so.. I was checking how far I was in the movie in hope that it was starting soon.. It was 7 minutes left..
