The writer Emil sets off on a cycling trip and in the evening looks for a bed in a small place on a pass. Walking in the forest, he meets, or perhaps does not meet, a strange woman with a silver eye. An extraordinary storm sweeps over them, destroying the forest, and the woman disappears. Talking to the villagers, Emil finds that nobody knows her. An ordinary outing turns, through this mysterious event, into a turning point in his life and an occasion for deep reflection on his past, on family and on how to spend the time one has, in a short novel that crosses the borders between the real and the fantastic, home and abroad, past and present.
