אושר פתאומי

Beneath the calm of a fishing village in the north of the country, something dark is stirring. Daniel, an acclaimed novelist in his forties, walks out on his devoted wife and their daughter to write, in solitude, the most ambitious work of his career. A chance encounter with Elazar, the charismatic local doctor who secretly torments himself over his part in his wife's death, throws everything off course. Daniel's friend Thomas, a pleasure-seeking adulterer fleeing a crumbling marriage, joins him, and when Elazar's beautiful, eccentric daughter Amalia appears, the lives of all three men begin to spin. The novel sets culture against nature and follows the destructive force of wild, dark love.
