In the darkness of a peaceful village, a pyromaniac ignites his first fire. As more fires break out, the society panics. An inferno lurks under the surface as a local policeman uncovers the unthinkable truth...

A harrowing and ironic story about the first big and well educated generation born after WW2, living without any major concerns between 1965 and 1975.

The story is set in a Norwegian town in the late 1940s. At the center of the plot is Clara, a young woman who is hopelessly in love with her former teacher and is forced to undergo a cruel abortion, which was illegal at the time.
