Un homme voyage de nuit dans une carriole. Le cocher fouette les chevaux. Un orage éclate. L’obscurité est parcourue de lumières bizarres. Soudain, les chevaux se cabrent: une femme, au milieu du chemin, qui disparaît aussitôt. L’homme prend peur, la carriole se disloque, des cavaliers tirent vers la forêt avec des flèches enflammées. L’homme court à en perdre haleine. Il tombe dans un profond lac et dans le temps passé.

Una fiaba apocalittica sulla distruzione e i miracoli, sull'eterna lotta tra il bene e il male, sulla fede e la speranza. Un viaggiatore del 19 secolo si trova per incantesimo tre secoli indietro e rivive le ultime ore della città di Switez prima che venga sommersa tottalmente dalle acque.
