A young woman returns to her Alpine home village after her father had gone missing in the surrounding woods. While the village prepares for the annual midsummer bonfire, she is torn between feeling responsible for her father and experiencing a deep longing for the closeness and ease of a woman she grew up with. Between the tension of her former home and the cheerful atmosphere of the village festivities, the young woman struggles to find her own place.
