Twenty-year-old Lilja is in love. As a young university student, she is quickly smitten with the intelligent, beautiful young man from school who quotes Derrida and reads Latin and cooks balanced vegetarian meals. Before she even realises, she’s moved in with him, living in his cramped apartment, surrounded by sour towels and flat Diet Cokes. As the newfound intimacy of sharing a shower and a bed fuels her desire to please her partner, his quiet and pervasive manipulations start to unravel her.

Lilja ha vent'anni ed è innamorata. Giovane studentessa universitaria, si è subito invaghita di un ragazzo più grande, intelligente e bellissimo, che cita Derrida, legge il latino e cucina pasti vegetariani perfettamente equilibrati. Ma che è anche un traditore seriale e un narcisista. Prima ancora di rendersene conto, Lilja si trasferisce nell'angusto appartamento dove lui vive con uno strano coinquilino, circondata da asciugamani sporchi e Diet Coke sgasate.
