Two troubling stories collide in this adventurous tale. The protagonist
of the first, Markheim, goes into an antique store to buy a Christmas
gift. What happens here in the forthcoming hours force him to face his
fears as well as his hopes and will change his destiny in an
extraordinary way. In the second story, an English officer fighting in
Spain during the war retires to the countryside to recover. In a mansion
situated between the mountains and beautiful landscapes, he tries to
find the keys to a love and terror story. Here, it is not easy to
distinguish between that which is worldly or spiritual; both inseparably
merge in the name of a woman: Olalla."
