A 14-year-old boy, collecting cicadas in the forest with other villagers, disappears and is rumoured to be kidnapped by people involved in the human organ transplant business. The villagers are also not sure if it is the forest nymph’s doing. Meanwhile arrives a miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary, sent by the Pope to every Catholic Church in the world for ‘an approaching apocalyptic darkness that will last 80 days’. Nothing will provide light except for the blessed candles given by the priest. Through Kasan (10), suffering night blindness, and his father Nengsal (45), the village security head, we witness the unfolding of unprecedented events.
