Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A family on the brink of crisis decides to escape the city and take refuge in an old farmhouse in the countryside, convinced that returning to nature is the only real solution. But the bucolic dream soon turns into an exhilarating struggle for survival. Escaping the city is easy. Running away from yourself, a little less.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
