Description A mountain falls down and an alpine village is frozen in its summer state.
When a ghostly figure appears beyond the last house, the villagers are terrorised.
Is it a soul trapped in limbo, come to make his baleful complaint? Only one of them recognises him as a survivor, her husband in flesh and blood.
The village rejoices, but when the survivor declares his intention to return beneath the rubble, the old doubts resurface.
Swiss writer Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz sets his masterful tale of love and loss against the tectonic indifference of the high Alps.
