被指控纵火的阿莫多出狱了，却没有人等着他。他回到家乡，一个位于加利西亚深山、全欧洲森林大火发生最为频繁的村庄，与八十三岁的老母亲和三头乳牛一起生活。跨过湿冷阴郁的冬季，阿莫多循着自然的节奏缓慢生活，曾经干枯的生命在春日微风和盛夏阳光里逐渐舒展，直到森林的滥垦越来越近，漫山的烈火再度袭卷而来……。 导演奥利佛勒赛回到儿时游玩的西班牙山村，完成这部横跨四季的宿命之诗。以熟识的当地素人为主角，在充满仪式感的摄影机运动与超十六毫米胶卷质地的影像中，凝视这片被他誉为「拥有极端美感、高反差又难以预测」的山林景貌，静谧中汇聚出慑人的能量；而人类的纯真与猜忌、自然的更迭与灭绝、生命的渺小和无常，更随着铺天盖地的熊熊烈火，迸发出灼人的滚烫。影像力道直追贝拉塔尔、塔可夫斯基。

Lera is a sociology student at a small-town university. Her mother is a sleepwalker who believes in miracles, and her father just left the family for another woman. Lera has no idea how to make her life better. And one more thing: a spirit keeps visiting her dreams at night. And the harder Lera's life gets, the more often she has these dreams. That is, until the spirit steps into the world of the living.
