Zoologists couple Nadja and Lev live together in the vast forests of Russia. A mysterious sound makes the relations between the couple come into focus. In the conversation with Bach, De Moor talks about how she came up with the idea for this psychological novel, about her personal relationship with Russia, where she lived and worked for a long time, and the various motifs in the story.
