The forests are burning, and so are the screens. Fifteen-year-old Era lives with her mother at the edge of a forest and resists the slow destruction by recording the extinction of birds in notebooks, drawings and lists. On a stream she watches her classmate Maja and Maja's sister blow up hard drives in the next clearing: Maja, the daughter of two 'momfluencers', is trying to erase a childhood lived in public. While Era collects and Maja destroys, the two girls, both hungry for closeness and for things they can touch, fall in love.
