А среди них – крестьянин Ольсен, равнодушный к «блеску океана», бесконечно тоскующий по «глухой деревне», где живут его сестра, мать и отец; и одолеваемый слуховыми галлюцинациями: «Ольсен, это мы, мы!

Nothing is a tale of the merry-go-round of love, marriage and infidelity, and the ceaseless tussle of innocence versus experience.
