AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Winter, Denmark, a young girl, an old woman, an isolated farmhouse: Grandmother M caresses the horses, talks to them tenderly, but has no love to give the girl. She seeks intimacy elsewhere.

'Into this icy landscape, into this emotional wasteland, steps a stranger. Has he walked across the frozen sea?

'The long, bleak winter will see more than one death. Who is to blame? Can redemption be found by speaking words of love?'
