Synopsis:
Nana Lusing works and lives by herself in a rural town and she looks forward to occasional visits by one or the other of her five grown sons. At night, she lies on her bed sleepless as she sees a dark figure looming in her room. Is this the devil? Her late husband? A manifestation of her anxieties or imagination? As the story unravels, values of unity, love, and family arise.
