Alone at her summer cabin in Mauricie, a woman is visited by the son who vanished more than ten years ago. Each day, as they walk to the peat bog of his childhood among mushrooms and sphagnum moss, he tells her of his wandering life and his hallucinated vision of the world, and her love for him grows with the fear that he will disappear again.
