Ever wondered what hides behind a seemingly perfect family?
Montse is thrilled about the weekend she gets to spend with her whole family at her house on the Costa Brava. Her divorce was long ago, her ex has a new partner, and her children are all grown up with lives of their own. No one pays much attention to her. But nothing and no one will dampen her excitement. She’s been dreaming of this moment for too long. The weekend will be perfect… even if she has to burn everything to the ground to make it so.

A stone rests in a dry and abandoned place, on the outskirts of Barcelona, in the middle of a mountain that is no longer a mountain. Thousands of years ago it was a place to leave offerings. Sacrifices were made to ask for good omens. The stone remembers the last shepherd in the area, the only one who visited it, before disappearing with his sheep. In an eternal summer, suddenly, a visitor bursts into the stone’s existence.
