One long hot summer, Evelyn drowns a wasps' nest, and while digging among the tiny corpses makes a sinister discovery. A university professor arrives unannounced at the door of an Arizona fortune-teller, little knowing how this woman will alter his life.

And over a Coca-Cola in an Andalucian village bar, a woman hears from a stranger the worst thing a mother can do.
