Storyline
It’s the year 1962, and Erik, along with his newly befriended companion Edmund and his adult brother Henry, is set to enjoy their summer vacation in a somewhat run-down house near Lake Genesaret. Everything seems perfect as the summer unfolds to be the best they’ve ever had. However, things take a dark turn when Ewa Kaludis, bearing a striking resemblance to Kim Novak, arrives at their retreat. She initiates a fateful relationship with Henry, and that’s when ‘the terrible thing’ occurs, leaving everyone in suspense as to who might be responsible.
