Synopsis: In a valley, a forest between Italy and France Tommaso (Sizonovas) and Arturo (Bernardi) have managed to escape and live in the forest. Villagers talk about a legend about a wolf and a girl. Ariana (Seyvecou) comes back to the village and finds a hole in the forest.
Review: The movie has three not fully independent episodes and genres. We start with a naive story of two friends escaping in the forest without a goal. Documentary-like interviews explain about the wolf living in the forest and about a girl who disappeared. Then Ariana disappears, comes back and disappears again and we follow her journey in quest of calm and nature.  At the end, none of the three stories touched me. The last one is chaotic but I understood a storyline, maybe not the right one.  The camera movement is quite demanding in the forest and very well managed. There are many dark or too dark scenes but it does not disturbed me. This happens with any camera in the forest when you do not have large lightnings. The acting is pending on the relatively empty roles. And thus cannot be great.
