Arsa is aged eighteen or so. She is beautiful, introverted and wild. She lives alone in a rundown hovel overlooking the sea, somewhere on the edge of an island.
One day, three youngsters arrive on the island and rent a holiday home. All of a sudden, Arsa’s world is invaded. Andrea, one of the boys, captivated by Arsa’s enigmatic presence, tries to migrate into her world and discovers her shocking desire…

“The bond between Arsa and Stromboli is visceral, symbiotic. The island is not simply a landscape, but a true extension of her inner world. […] Arsa moves through it like an ancestral being, knowing its rhythms, shadows and silent voices almost like an animal.” — Masbedo
