Description

Lika arrives in the village of Chudinovo and quickly realizes that old legends are not just recounted here—they seep through the shifting haze of a stifling daytime heat. This is a mystical story about where the line lies between reality and delusion. The most frightening thing doesn’t happen at night: it comes at noon, when the air stands still and the sun burns without mercy. What secrets does the settlement by the lake hide? Lika can’t figure out whether she sees what doesn’t exist—or whether she has ended up in a place where ancient tales and fishermen’s tall stories somehow become reality. The solution is tied to a mysterious guy who begins to stalk Lika from the moment she arrives in Chudinovo: with him, noon and heat seem to come as well, and his presence is inseparably linked to anxious, inexplicable miracles.
