Offers five paintings of the human soul in the form of gripping stories. A man meets a young girl who plays the organ under the ice of a frozen river and revisits his past. Another gradually sinks into a paranoid and conspiratorial rumination which will lead him to the worst. A couple is torn apart by drama surrounding the gender identity of their child. A tormented son confesses his crimes at his mother's grave. A mistreated boy becomes the little dog he dreamed of owning. A persistent question runs through these texts: Why does it happen that childhood and hell share the same season?
