All their neighbors moved south for the winter, but two widows have agreed to stay back because they have been appointed as caretakers of their empty village. Isolated and snowbound for a hundred days of winter, they have only each other for company and support. But their common past – they shared the same husband for fifty years – often comes up between them. As winter deepens, staying alive becomes a greater priority than guard duty.
