Somewhere in Europe, mid-20th century. Albert is employed to look after Mia, a girl with teeth of ice. Mia never leaves their apartment, where the shutters are always closed. The telephone rings regularly and the Master enquires after Mia's wellbeing. Until the day Albert is instructed that he must prepare the child to leave.

If it takes more energy to frown than smile, the male lead is the sole reason why the entire unnamed country has all lights on power save and why a stylistic short film takes two hours to complete.
[AtlàntidaFF '22] Just as the painting of the old building that Mia stares at is open to the viewer's interpretation, this is a film open to the viewers' various conclusions, which is not a negative element. There is a Kafkaesque atmosphere that stops at silences, a "Lynchian" darkness that borders on surrealism, but to a lesser extent than the book. It is a dense and sometimes fascinatingly incomprehensible film.
