In the molten air of August, the disappearance of a little girl pulls the town into a collective hallucination the moment her body surfaces. Sick families, mute shadows of authority, and faces tangled in one another’s dreams dissolve in the same rotten drone. The line between truth and invention twists into an absurd social vertigo, and the child’s erasure slips not into the hands of a single culprit, but into the shared fog of guilt everyone creates and forget at the very same time.
In memory of the children who were erased.
