What's it about

Aitana, a thirteen-year-old girl, spends the summer at her uncle's house in the village after the death of her mother. There she meets her cousin Lope, obsessed with insects and ghosts, and Cecilia, a mysterious mute girl with a sensitivity towards the world of the dead. Through chilling games and escapes into the forest, the cousins relive a summer of wild childhood. Aitana will understand her mother's death thanks to the appearance of the God of the Forest, a guiding spirit. Post-screening talk with Dídac Gimeno.
