To exorcise the fear of being swallowed up by the ancient house in which she lives, a nine-year-old girl establishes an intense bond with it until she can feel its heartbeat, the flow of blood. Everyone fears the house, but not her. She has perceived what only a few are allowed to perceive, she has investigated the past through jagged answers, and she is no longer afraid. The house protects her, but the little girl is about to move to a new one, where the spirits and the Guardian will not be able to be near her. Unknowingly, she has become the keeper of memories destined to disappear, the heir to truths and unsolved mysteries. Her visions will continue to torment her until adulthood, but through hypnosis she will be able to overcome the veil that separates the visible from the invisible, while the house, deprived of its little guardian, self-destructs and takes away the last heirs.
