Un collegio femminile in Svizzera, nell’Appenzell. Un’atmosfera di idillio e cattività. Arriva una "nuova": è bella, severa, perfetta, sembra che abbia già vissuto tutto. La protagonista – un’altra interna del collegio – si sente attratta da questa figura, che lascia intravedere qualcosa di quieto e terribile.
