(below is the entry I wrote for the other version)

Amber arrives by chance it seems at the holiday home of a family causing their lives to change.
Astrid, the daughter, a budding film maker, sees her as a sort of rolemodel.
Magnus, the son, is brought back from the brink of his depression.
Eve, the mother, seems to be pushed into really living.
Michael, the step-father, is more complicated, a lecherous lecturer.

Strangely enough, less is known about Amber, maybe she is just a catalyst.

Written in thoughts, rather than (always) coherant sentences, took a while to get used to, but gave you an insight into the characters that novelists rarely give you.
