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.

“A really great popcorn movie is extremely hard to pull off. A really great popcorn book is equally hard to pull off, so I don't feel guilty devouring one.”
