Laura hears strange whispers in the woods behind her house. At first she blames the wind, but the sounds gradually form words in a forgotten language. With her brother Mārtiņš, she discovers an ancient stone carved with a sun symbol that glows in their hands. Suddenly, tree shadows come alive, taking shapes from Latvian mythology as the boundary between dream and reality dissolves. This 2025 animated fantasy horror explores themes of cultural memory through a child's perspective, where every folk tale proves to be truth hidden in the modern world. The director employs mixed techniques — puppet animation for characters and digital painting for fantastical landscapes — creating a visual language where every texture tells its own story.
