A dreamlike, unsettling coming-of-age fable set in a mysterious academy where the boundary between enchantment and corruption remains deliberately obscured.

At a peculiar all-girls academy, new arrivals, including Iris, are delivered in coffins. Guided by enigmatic teachers, the students dance through enchanted woods by day, while the night unveils sinister lessons that blur innocence and awakening.
