Eva est une enfant de 11 ou 12 ans, pleine de fraîcheur et de vitalité, mais à qui l'expérience de la vie a déjà donné une certaine dose de cynisme et de perversité. Elle est employée comme bonne à tout faire par un couple très mal assorti: le mari, Hubert, ouvrier spécialisé dans une usine chimique, est taciturne et replié sur lui-même ; il éprouve pour la petite Eva des désirs dont il n'ose parler à personne; quant à sa femme, insatisfaite dans sa vie conjugale, elle le trompe effrontément avec un don juan égoïste et brutal qui profite odieusement de la situation.

Un veuf de Lierre qui, après s'être remis d'une maladie mortelle, change complètement sa vie et son nom en le Pallieter auto-inventé. Il emménage avec Charlote, une parente naïve et attentionnée à la campagne, où il commence à gambader, ne se souciant plus de son image, de sa carrière ou de ses biens, mais se concentre sur le plaisir de la vie -comme le mariage brueghelien d'un parent appelé- et trouve l'amour avec Marieke. Une histoire sombre est cependant lorsque les travaux projetés sur la rivière au nom du progrès économique menacent le paysage rural dont ils sont tombés amoureux...
