Blurb
A woman wants to spend a few days in a hunting lodge in the mountains with her cousin and her cousin's husband. After their arrival, the couple takes a trip to the nearest village and does not return. The next morning, the woman encounters an insurmountable wall, behind which lies a state of deathly stillness. Cut off from the rest of the world, she adapts to survival in her confined piece of nature, surrounded by a few stray animals.
