Dark and tragic, the story revolves around 22 year old Anna, a girl from a wealthy family, who is also fiercely ambitious and dreams of one thing only: making it as an actress. One day, Anna decides to pack her bags and leave, without telling her mother or father. She moves from Sweden to Copenhagen to pursue her dream. However, when she gets to the city, fate has something else in store for her. Anna discovers she will soon become a mother. Later, after giving birth to baby girl, she tries to chase after her dream, once again. Undoubtedly talented, she has one problem – being the single mother of a now 4-month-old baby. Though she struggles to give her daughter a good start in life, she ultimately fails to unite her dream of acting with a safe and loving environment for her child. Having to take her baby with her to auditions, the child's crying results in Anna not getting a part. Torn between her duties as a mother, and her passion for acting and the need to earn money, Anna is driven to the limits of her patience - with tragic consequences: she drowns her baby in a bathtub. What follows is a downward spiral: she begins working as a prostitute, and under the stage name 'Daisy Diamond', she acts in porn movies. In the end, she finally lands a role, and as part of that role, she plunges into a bathtub.
