What is not said, what is not known, what is hidden.
A living body replaced by a corpse. A pool. A flash. The swamp. And the twins, sharing a secret that seems hard to escape. Like a whisper under ancient soil, teenage indifference can be abruptly cut by the calm of the water; just a moment in that night sweating poison. Family, memories, past. Ants. The hidden roots that are always present and so active: tightening the muscle of judgement. Like the pulse with two hands that forces suicidal solutions. Like the umbilical cord that both connects and separates, that binds and tightens. Until death. Until guilt. Two summers are enough for the valley plot to become the stage of a perfect emotional torture.
