As soon as she comes of age, Luisa Fischer leaves her parents' house and her family in the Austrian provinces and moves from one European city to the next, without putting down roots. Grown up, the mother of two children by different fathers, she returns to the farming region of her childhood, where fields are burning in the heat. But her life finds no calm course: things seethe under the surface, old wounds and family ties reach into the present, in a family that struggles to speak and does not trust itself. Luisa, who wants to be seen as a writer, makes her own room, ready to do anything for her independence.
