A paranoid, atmospheric survival thriller where an indifferent or malevolent forest becomes a character itself, trapping two women while a mysterious family emerges from its depths.

Two Muscovites go on a trip to Karelia and disappear without a trace in an endless, dense forest. Each attempt to get out turns into a new threat. The forest seems to breathe, watch and does not want to let go... It becomes clear: the Forest lives by its own rules, which there is no time to understand - without food and water, the girls will not last long. In the meantime, one strange family moves into an abandoned village house. Strangers are not welcome here. After all, they used to live in the Forest.
