The forest is not only the setting but almost a character, a living organism where the borders between reality and imagination, past and present blur. Agnes, a young woman, goes there to look for her sister Klara and moves into the cabin where she once came with her family, whose difficult story gradually unfolds. The sisters were very close until their bond broke, apparently because of something Agnes did, which remains a secret. Fighting her fears in the house in the woods, she often thinks of returning to her old life. One day she meets an unusual trio, Sara, Joshua and Tulsi, who live far from the world, meditating, gathering herbs and trying to be self-sufficient; when a storm damages her cabin she moves in with them, drawn to their life yet suspicious. Her story intertwines with that of the hermit Valentin.
