Experiencing Interruptions?

In a forest, at night

Victor and his daughter Laura live in a small village, surrounded by woods. Victor must make animal sacrifices to feed the trees of the forest. But one night, one of the animals escapes from the sacrifice. The same night, interested in finding out more about her mother’s disappearance years ago, Laura escapes from her house to discover and learn more about that mysterious forest.
