Anna and Paul live secluded in the Alps. Two lovers with few possessions. They stuff the animals that the forest offers them and just make ends meet. Life is rough in the mountains, but their love shimmers like a small warm island in the rugged landscape. One day, however, her home is haunted by eerie omens. A story about love and futility, at the end of which there is a little bit of hope.
