Overview

In 1916, in an isolated farm in Haute Provence, Léon Morgon, a paralytic patriarch, reigns over a world of women: Appolonie, his daughter, Baptistine, his daughter-in-law and Maridoun, his granddaughter. Jean, Baptistine's husband, is reported missing on the Eastern front. The only boy left is Félix, a young man with troubled sexuality, Baptistine's son, who is convinced that his father is still alive. An abandoned village called "Malaterra" overlooks the Morgon clan's farm. The village is cursed, villagers say they have seen ghosts dancing there at night. The police would like to understand what is going on in Malaterra.
