A mother, her son Kimmo and his grandfather spend a summer at a villa on a sea bay. For the boy each day repeats itself, the same and new, as though there were no time. The adults carry what has happened with them, the heavy figures of the recent wars walking in the shade of the trees. Against their loss stands the child’s world of senses and colours, in a novel about childhood, memory and choices that set a life’s course.
