Ella washes until her skin burns, runs every night, doesn't dare to go to the bathroom. She loses track of the days and doesn't understand why her body is on constant alert. Something is about to unravel.

Ella's grief runs deep; she lost her mother to cancer when she was a child. But there is also something else that is pushing its way forward – something she has long kept hidden, also for herself. Through glimpses of a childhood marked by loss and an adolescence where trust was betrayed, a story of abuse, shame and a body that remembers what the mind tries to repress is revealed.

Kiss Mark is an in-depth account of what happens when repressed memories break the surface, and of the path towards understanding oneself in order to become whole again.
