“While they are having fun in the forest, Arnaud and Chloé, two children, find themselves in a clearing in the middle of which is built a small house. It is said to be the home of an old witch. Overcoming their fear, the children decide to knock on the door. They then meet an old lady who tells them her story. The story of a woman who has lived in Ariège for a long time, a woman over whom time had no real hold and who had to endure the loneliness of an endless existence. Throughout his life, the spectator is transported in the history of Ariège from Prehistory to the War of 14… ”
