Review

Beautiful movie about the hard life choices when the innocence is broken in beautiful haven what was created to escape the wickedness of the evil world.

There is a small village in the middle of the forest where people live in old fashioned way. They are afraid to leave their home town since there are terrible creatures in the forest around them. People do not go to forest and neither creatures come to their town. One love story takes dramatic turn when one villager knives the one who was going to be married. Elders of the town knows that there would be a medicine for his wounds in the city, but they have made an oath to not to go to city ever back because of its evilness. One of the elders tells to her daughter whom was going to marry this wounded man that these creatures does not exists at all, they are just a story what elders have made to make villagers stay in their town to protect the place from the bad influence of outside world.

This movie was beautiful. It have a nice visual style, excellent music, good storytelling and good acting. This movie is totally worth the watch.
