Isora always calls her best friend Shit "because shit is beautiful and gorgeous like the mists around the pine trees" Both girls live in a village on an island high in the mountains, far above the sun-drenched beaches of tourists. Isora's mother died when she was little and Shit's parents work hard in tourist hotels in the south and are never home.

Like two enfants terrible, Isora and Shit roam the village during the day and are invited to eat at the village old women's. When they've eaten their fill, they stick the garden hose up their butts to shit – it's good to shit under pressure, because then you become as thin as a bone. When everything starts to shake like when the earth warns of a volcanic eruption, it's probably only Isora and Shit who rub themselves. They dream of going to the sea where they've never been, but the old women just say: "What are you going there to do? The sea is the devil, the sea is the hole itself". Then the old women make the sign of the cross over and over: "Protect me, if one girl throws herself off a cliff, the other will jump after her"

The performance is based on Andrea Abreu's acclaimed debut novel Åsnesommar, depicting a symbiotic friendship in an absurdist borderland between children and adults. We move seamlessly between the girls' inner and outer worlds and portray both crude fantasies and brutal reality and romantic dreams. As a lone actor, Frida Beckman portrays the entire world of Shit and Isora. With the help of dolls and objects, a dark and grotesque "coming of age" is embodied for adults, where the dolls give voice to the loneliest time of childhood.
