One autumn night in 1883, the narrator follows a mysterious little red-bearded man and finds himself in an old tower deep in the forest. There he meets a young girl who lives with her ailing father. In the darkness of night, reality and dream intertwine, and the tower fills with invisible music and the image of blind angels. The story explores loneliness, compassion, and how a person’s inner world can transform the meaning of an ordinary encounter.
