With the onset of summer, the mother brings the child to the village, to the house of the recently deceased grandmother. The building has been empty for a long time, and the family needs to put it in order. Shortly before the trip, a strange letter arrives from a psychiatric hospital, but it is mistaken for a mistake.
The car gets stuck on the way. Mom goes to look for help and doesn't come back. The hero goes on a search and notices a female silhouette in the forest, which disappears every time. Soon, the boy finds his grandmother's house.
