Past and present are never apart. Woven in the earth, in potholes and puddles, the rests of another time. Who played with these cards, what photo used to be in that heart-shaped locket? A tragedy so horrifying, no one dares to come close to its final resting site. Everything was left rotting, much to the dismay of the residents: shouldn’t the city finally cover this place up? Isn’t it time to move on? Ah, they were such a beautiful family…
But nothing stays still for too long: young and hopeful, a new project aims at finishing what was left behind. They didn’t listen to the superstitions and the stories; how could they be true? The past is behind them, the present is much brighter! Or so they thought.
Two stories, two couples, two tragedies united by one common theme: you can’t escape violence. It will always find its way back to you.
