In a small clinic in the country, Amanda is dying, and David, a neighbour's boy, keeps putting questions to her in a feverish voice. To understand what is happening and where her daughter Nina has gone, she must go back over everything since she arrived and met Carla and her sick son: a horse falling ill, a deformed bird. All along she has measured the 'rescue distance', the time she would need to reach Nina at a run should anything go wrong.
