Forest

A group of young men and women of unknown origin decides to gather in a forest (somewhere in in South America) and live according to their own laws and ethical codes, which dictate, for example, the ritual killing of any life form that is over 40 years old. Meanwhile, a violent war among neighboring nations breaks out and threatens their small organized territory. As the conflict becomes more threatening, the youngsters’ decisions – ranging from mysticism to realpolitik – will prove vital for the achievement of an armistice, even if they contradict the community’s own principles.
