Synopsis of The Standing Pool

En una idílica y antigua casa de campo en Francia, se desarrolla una historia fascinante llena de tensión. Dos historiadores de Oxford, Johnny y Sarah Thomson, se toman un año sabático con sus tres pequeñas y vivaces hijas en una remota y hermosa casa de campo en las colinas de Languedoc. Pero la casa de campo tiene sus propias historias, más tensas y vivas que aquellas con las que los Thomson están acostumbrados a lidiar en las páginas. A medida que la ilusión del Edén se desvanece, los Thomson comienzan a sentir la vulnerabilidad de ser extranjeros en esta impredecible naturaleza salvaje. Mientras Sarah se preocupa por el peligro de la piscina y las visitas nocturnas de jabalíes bien armados, Johnny está más preocupado por los lugareños, particularmente Jean-Luc, el jardinero. ¿Es su gusto por clavar pequeños clavos en muñecas, recolectar basura arcana y fotografiar en secreto a Sarah, algo más que un pasatiempo inofensivo? ¿Y cómo deberían reaccionar ante su ansiosa amistad con sus hijas?
