In a quiet village at the turn of the century, lives are shaped by silence, faith, and restraint.
Father Markus Engel keeps his life ordered by duty and devotion. When he encounters Philomena Rettig, a young woman shaped by thoughtfulness, independence, and an ease with mystery, something long contained begins to stir in them both.
For Philomena, the attraction is neither accidental nor feared. For Markus, it is an awakening he does not know how to survive.
As belief and longing draw closer together, he is forced to confront what he has given his life to and what loving her would cost.
