The elderly teacher Iben lives alone in a small coastal community in Lofoten with her dog, Ivo. In an attempt to help the struggling student Markus, she takes him for walks on her spare time and lets him get to know her dog. Spending time with Ivo, managing the dog, and playing with it, seems to have a very beneficial effect on Markus. One day he is allowed to take Ivo for a walk alone. But when the boy becomes bored and restless, he starts to tease the dog and loses control. Markus claims that Ivo has bitten him, and Iben faces a difficult decision when the other villagers demand that her dog be put down.
