A recent medical school graduate, Emil Petrescu, leaves Romania to take over a retiring doctor’s medical practice in the Belgian countryside. He moves to a house not far from an old mining pit, in a region undergoing profound changes caused by a crumbling mining economy and agricultural crises. During the winter, a meteorite disintegrates in the sky, a phenomenon that will leave an old man mute. The young doctor is called to his aid.
