Elves do exist. Maybe not in your world. Or mine. But they follow 25-year-old Frederikke Bertin in her life. For better or worse. Shadow, Lora, Rotello, Pingo and Elfendahl. They each have their own name, their own personality, their own voice, but they all live in the same place. Inside Frederikke's head.

A study from ONE OF US (a destigmatizaton effort by the Danish Health Authority) shows that 43% of the Danish population believes that people with a mental illness are more dangerous than other people, especially when it comes to the schizophrenia spectrum, and another study finds that healthcare professionals' attitudes towards people with mental illness largely mirror those of the population.

Frederikke Bertin is one of them. She lives in a residential home and is diagnosed with schizophrenia. She is herself, connected to the voices she hears and the things she sees, which are not real, but are part of her reality. A reality she doesn't feel that the people and doctors around her are trying to understand.

She feels forced to trust the eyes and ears of others instead of her own. Forced to trust their reality.

Like everyone else, Frederikke has interests, rewarding relationships, dreams and thoughts about the future, while the challenges that come with the diagnosis schizophrenia are very real and certainly not easy.
