A surreal, emotionally driven fantasy about filial love and redemption, where a daughter descends into a ghostly underworld to save her father from his own past.

To save her bedridden ex-military father, Clara must fight the spirits of the soldiers he killed on the battlefield in a surreal world known simply as the Below. She is aided by a mischievous toy nutcracker, her only guide in a place where the ghosts of the past run rampant.
