The small Hannele attempts to commit suicide by falling into the village lake Omperntorf. Whatever she had lived, hoped and feared to live, pass in front of her in a musical journey starring everyone she knew, alive or dead,  heroes of her youthful imagination, a vision where the past, present and future are indistinguishable .
The original music for voice, piano and flute performed live are influenced by romanticism, jazz and avant-garde.

The issue of suicide of a teenager, is a taboo subject at the time that the original play was written, always remains the same shocking and lay bare the true beliefs of a society towards a young girl who is challenging by  conflicting religious prejudices and social preventions.
