Synopsis
An earthquake hits a small town. There are no casualties, but the whole community is forced to flee their homes. As the adults struggle to find balance in precarious times, Viola, a ten-year-old girl, imagines the earthquake as a “friend” who forces her to stay outside with the others, discovering the world of adulthood, friendship and a so-far unexplored nature.
