Autumn 1913. Mieczysław Wojnicz, a student from Lviv, arrives in the Silesian resort of Gerbersdorf to be treated for tuberculosis. Not even a day after his arrival, a disaster strikes the boarding house for men where he is staying. And while Mieczysław's neighbours pretend that nothing is happening, hiking in the mountains, drinking liqueur and having intellectual conversations about the world order and women, invisible forces are at work. Olha Tokarchuk plays with the horror genre, but she refers to the themes that are already familiar to her: nature and civilisation, strength and weakness, male and female. And to the uncertain, complex, disturbing space between the two opposites.
