In the heart of summer, a young boy takes a moment to stare, for the first time in his life, into the light of the setting sun.

Summer, early 2000s. A young boy arrives at his grandparents’ house in a small seaside village. Summertime is finally on! Keeping him company during his carefree summer days is the mysterious “witch,” a self-isolated elderly woman living in an old house by the sea. When the woman is no longer there one day, the boy will turn his gaze, for the first time, to the light of the setting sun.
