Fleeing the city at the beginning of the pandemic, two families are cramped together in a small century-old country house. Winter seeps through the walls, the wallpaper is peeling, and mice make their nest in the piano. Without phones or internet, they turn to the outdoors, where a new language unfolds, a language of fireflies and clover. The five children explore nature and its treasures, while our narrator, Anaïs, turns to the eccentric neighbours and her own family history to find peace and meaning in the middle of her life.

Dew drops gather on petals and gleam, Dancing on the precipice of hope to be seen. Hope...Such a quiet whisper in some circumstances. But in others, It is loud or mere trances. It is a yell or a scream, Or love and a dream. It's a chance to prosper, A chance to redeem. Dawn is a new beginning, A new feeling. Dawn lights paint the sky, Lighting the way you must take and try. Revealing the hope that lay deep inside, Wake at dawn, It's time to fly.
