When Karolina Olsson from Oknö woke up one morning in 1908, she had slept well - not for one night, but for 32 years. Now she would soon turn 47 years old and felt refreshed and well. What had happened? What external cause had brought her into such an exceptional state?
At Christmas 1875, when she was 14 years old, she was out on the ice and had a toothache. She went home, lay down and fell into a 32-year-old sleep. How can one understand or explain the long-term exclusion from everyday life? Would the toothache be the only cause? Was she in fact a simulator - if so why? She must have had some kind of consciousness, during all these years. What did she experience where she lay? How did the next of kin - the mother - look at her? What did she know about how her daughter experienced her childhood - was there anything she had reason to try to hide? An indescribable betrayal? A mental crisis?
