The Story
A rest she gravely needed. A stranger she couldn't avoid.
After a breakup, Alina quits her IT career in the city and returns home to tend her broken heart among her grandmother's gardens. The pace is slower. The air smells of pine, lillies and old wood smoke. For a little while, it is almost perfect.
Her rest is interrupted by Alex Palmer, a charismatic stranger asking intrusive questions about the forest, and about her family. In a village where speaking of the dead has consequences, Alina must decide how much she'll risk to unearth of what has been buried in silence for generations.
Romance, folk horror, and the particular tenderness of returning somewhere that remembers you.
