A slow-burn thriller about rural community fracture, where idealistic outsiders find themselves isolated and threatened by neighbors over a development dispute that escalates into something darker and more primal.

Antoine and Olga, a French couple, have been living in a small village in Galicia for a long time. They practice eco-responsible agriculture and restore abandoned houses to facilitate repopulation. Everything should be idyllic except for their opposition to a wind turbine project that creates a serious conflict with their neighbors. The tension will rise to the point of irreparability.
