synopsis
Your business is dead. It seems like a deal – leave your family behind in Prague for a year, isolate yourself in a research station n the Andes, come home with a fortune. Along with a treatise on black holes for company, Jakob settles in at altitude. The air is thin. Strangers pass by on dangerous pilgrimage while his young wife and kids take life in his mind. In the starkness of the mountains big questions take shape – like what happens to love inside a black hole?
