Synopsis
Sarah has learned to make a life with Willem look beautiful: each garment smoothed, each gesture carefully rehearsed. But when a strange sound enters the night, it awakens something she can no longer fold away. Drawn from their warm house into the dark forest, Sarah follows its call to a moonlit lake, where silver light turns to gold and desire rises from the depths. As her bond with Willem slips out of reach, she is pulled ever closer to a self that refuses to remain submerged.
