During World War II, a family grave is both witness and narrator of the blossoming love affair between a wealthy young woman and a carpenter, as she must overcome the increasing threat of a jealous Nazi businessman.

SYNOPSIS:

The Grave (about love) is a story with a non-common narrative perspective. The "narrator" is a grave. The grave narrates what he notices about the world around him, especially the people. All he sees is the limited field of vision from his reclining position. From that static capacity, passersby step into his territory. In today's world, the grave has become a general memorial. Two officials working in the nearby mansion discuss a daughter's love coupled with threats of war. The grave then muses on a wartime love just before the German occupation. He thinks back to the daughter of a wealthy man, Isabella, who fell in love with a carpenter. The mansion was privately owned at the time. Love degenerates into death, with the changing social picture in the background during World War II. Yet impermanence has something comforting, as does intangible love. The grave sees that a person's death need be nothing more than fertility of the soil, but that people can make more of it, if they want to.

We look at what the grave sees. The tension between love, death and regret comes to a climax in a raw and honest story.
