 When Anna-Karin Johansson was 34 and the mother of a newborn son, a blood vessel in her brain burst. She awoke from a coma to a nightmare of chaotic sensory impressions and a distorted understanding of reality. It is her true story that forms the basis for FISSURA, a fiction film that takes us into the strange world of the stroke patient and shows how she struggles to regain control of her body, thoughts, feelings, and her future.
