They have left their country to escape a volatile political climate and are seeking a pause and a new horizon in the peaceful life of a provincial city. However, fate has an unexpected twist in store for them. In this environment, which at first glance seems oblivious to their conflicts, they will be abruptly confronted with the dark atavisms and ancestral fears they thought they had left behind.
