    • Synopsis
    • Old and sick, Lira spends the last weeks of her life at her quiet country house, surrounded by nature. The summer days are long and sleepy. Time connects in fragments, dreams blend with waking…

      One night, sleeping outside, Lira is approached by a forest spirit in the form of very strange boy. Dirty and barefoot, with yellow eyes, and wearing a smooth white fox mask. Silent and timid, he’s more curious than he is scary.

      As Lira interacts with the boy, the lines between human and spirit disappear and, in her dying moments, we get a glimpse at the secret movements of the forest.
