Ten-year-old Edmund lives in the middle of the forest with his family since birth. One day he hear a noise, deaf, flying over the immensity of the sky that draws him far away, beyond the trees he thought infinite ... Through a tale, a fantastic and timeless myth, Nacht Wald draws on the imagery of the Noah's Ark story, to build a utopian living space threatened by a danger: that of the Man that we thought forever gone from the face of the earth.

The year is 1955, and a great flood is coming to Northfork, Montana. A new hydroelectric dam is about to be installed in the mountains above the town, ready to submerge the valley in the name of progress. It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground. Most have duly departed, but a few stubborn stragglers remain – among them a priest caring for a sickly orphan, a boy whose fevered visions are leading him to believe he is a member of a roaming band of lost angels desperately searching for a way home.
