A village in the hills, a few neighbours, a time hard to place: on the surface little changes. But a shadow is spreading. One person dies in bed in the summer heat, another tumbles down a slope, another roams endlessly at night. Connected by small threads, the stories pass from one narrator and one time to another, and blur the line between what really happens and what goes on in a disturbed mind, as fear, longing and madness creep through the valleys.
