Story

The village of Marona is situated near a beautiful lake. Marona is a small village that only has a school and a convalescent house for people sick with tuberculosis. The local schoolteacher falls in love with one of the patients. Her love is strong, in­tense and full of sacrifice. When another man, the patient’s friend, enters the scene, an unusual love triangle comes into play. Eros and Thanatos meet in this remote setting.
