A mother tries, but fails, to drown herself. How will she manage to continue doing what she did before, as a wife and a mother, after emerging from the depths of the lake where she saw something horrific and enchanting? A father is haunted by guilt over a momentary distraction and its lifelong consequences on his son's life. The appearance of a wounded horse from nowhere reopen old wounds. An attempt to poison a cat leads two women writers to astonishing realizations. Two girls meet during their vacation an alcoholic poet and dedicate themselves to caring for her. A woman cares for a strange elderly woman with dementia, unexpectedly experiencing the consequences of co-dependence.

People who find themselves at a point of no return, overwhelmed by the light of an impending tragedy. Vulnerable to the trap of the moment when the strange has invaded their lives. Some transform, others isolate themselves, and others waver between hope and tenderness. All are guided by uncertainty.

Dark, unexpected, explosive stories. About family relationships, the ghosts of expectations and guilt, the unattainability of perfect communication, the traps of dissatisfaction. Which make us, one by one, with black humor and suspense, able to face the monsters of our own everyday lives, to stand against ourselves.
