A comedy about an ordinary family running the unusual business of ghost tourism and spiritual sessions. Their house is built around an elf stone, which is sacred to the wife Lára, who is blessed with a sixth sense. She is able to communicate with people in Summerland in open sessions, but she also has good connection with elves. Oscar's business is not exactly blooming, so when he gets an offer from a German eccentric to sell the stone for a substantial amount, he is really tempted.
