Even though it was filmed in Sweden, the story takes place in the US. In 1964, Selma and her son Gene arrive to America from Europe. She wants to earn money in order to pay for Gene’s eye operation. They both suffer from a genetic disorder that causes blindness. While her eyesight keeps deteriorating, Selma wants to prevent her son from experiencing the same destiny. America does not turn out to be the promised land and Selma continues to live in poverty. She finds comfort and strength in Hollywood musicals.
