Germany. The village where your grandmother was born has grown into a vast, quiet settlement. At its heart stands a majestic stone church, served by gentle nuns and priests. Houses, shops, and a post office line the riverbank. You've come to see your family and you notice the changes: a new farm has opened, the cemetery woven into the forest has spread. Now it's watched over by the gravedigger Otto and his son Kai. Kai is a tall young man with tousled dark curls and East Asian features, whom the locals regard as eerie because of his silence, though in truth he's tender-hearted.
