Maestro is dead. Devoted to keeping up the garden, he didn’t feel the earthquake that shook the coasts of the country. Hidden and protected from the outside world by the garden, the forces unleashed arrive like distant echoes. The days of the maestro, ordered by the routine of his work, start to unravel before the violence and strangeness of nature’s behavior, which he had, until then, controlled; a portentous, brutal force that eventually overcomes him.
