Rosshalde

A remote estate, once a neglected manor, has been reshaped into a world divided between an aging house and a newly built artist’s studio. Johann Veraguth, a painter who lives only in his workshop, shares the sprawling grounds with his wife, who keeps the main house, the gardens, and the servants’ routine. Their seven‑year‑old son Pierre moves freely between the two realms, becoming the invisible bridge that ties his parents’ separate lives together.

The story follows a night when Johann returns home after a night in town, slipping through the dark, overgrown park to reach his studio. The quiet lake, the looming trees, and the lingering scent of summer create a mood of both serenity and unease. As the clock strikes one, the painter confronts the solitude that has settled over his life, hinting at the growing tensions that will test the fragile balance of his family and his art.
