In a fairy-tale setting - a castle and a tavern in the heart of a dense wood - a company of men and women are brought together by chance. Distraught and speechless after strange adventures, they communicate their experiences - love affairs, bertrayals, battles, conquests - by playing a game of tarot, whose configurations reveal their fates, which are at once unique and universal.
