FOUR HANDS
After Sophie and Jessica witnessed a brutal crime when they were kids, Jessica promised her younger sister Sophie: "I will always protect you!" As they grew older, this promise became an obsession. Now, Jessica (28) suffers from paranoia and sees a threat to her and her sister everywhere. But Sophie (26) just wants to live a normal life without fear, without her sister, wants to become a pianist, wants to fall in love. When the perpetrators are released from prison after 20 years, Jessica is shocked and wants to confront them. But an accident changes everything. Jessica’s promise to always protect her little sister turns into an life-threatening nightmare.
