A haunting, ambiguous mystery about three children's inexplicable disappearance and return, layered with paranormal dread and the weight of historical trauma.
They Returned is a beautifully touching and unnerving story about the unexplained disappearance of three children, two boys and one girl, and their reappearance three days later in a semi-autistic state. Not even the children themselves are able to help anyone understand what happened.
