Stories, told with apparent simplicity, of lives that are not lived but postponed, remembered and finally missed. Sonja is beautiful and successful, and from the outside Alexander should be happy with her; he is not, and he has a lover. In laconic sentences and quietly atmospheric scenes, the stories trace barely noticeable eruptions that turn out in hindsight to have been earthquakes: loneliness on a holiday together, an abandoned hotel in the mountains, a girl in the woods, a priest who feeds the birds, a first love that carries weight.
