Noir métal

In the falsely peaceful village of Sainte-Florence, in the Matapédia valley, the return of a young outsider makes waves. Sebastian Andersen, just out of a youth centre, does not speak, but his silence makes more noise than his music and upsets the sordid balance of the town. Between the General, high priest of a mysterious group called Vita Cirkeln that turns its initiates Scandinavian, and Eva, a girl who refuses to be used as human currency, swarm lost teenagers, corrupt notables, well-born perverts, exhausted women and pagan avengers, while the wild animals suffer from a strange disease. To a black-metal soundtrack, churches creak, cemeteries give up their secrets and old memories turn into daggers.
