Storyline:

Enormous tree trunks. The nature of leaves, the roots of desire and a house hidden deep in the forest. A journey to the other side. Something like a “punk” existential fairytale.

User review:

As I watched this, I realized that this movie is almost painfully whimsical. Fantasy is the great ruin of youth. As an adult, there is little patience for such weaknesses, although I was again struck by how reflective of my own experience the sneak captured really is for the period of life portrayed. However, it was with great relief that having exposed the ins and outs of this trio of characters, the film was almost completed with what was a captivating, fascinating and sensual trio between the actors. Beautifully shot, a surprising and intense musical score with the perspective of a director who might finally have something to say. He could easily have done it without most of what had happened before. The symbolism of the worlds of fairy tales, childhood.

However, what is refreshing for the new generation is the lack of prudence when filming genitalia as an extension of the expression of intimacy. The shaky aesthetic of the camcorder also characterizes the freshness in its proximity to the sinister aspect of the forest.
