Synopsis:

Set in a secluded, rural town steeped in tradition, the series follows a young woman grappling with a peculiar family legacy tied to the local folklore. The narrative unfolds through vignettes exploring everyday life interwoven with subtle hints of something extraordinary beneath the surface. She navigates relationships with her enigmatic relatives and fellow villagers while uncovering fragmented stories passed down through generations – tales hinting at a deep connection between the town’s history and the natural world.

The animation style emphasizes realistic detail and quiet moments, fostering an atmosphere of thoughtful introspection. It's a character-driven exploration of identity, belonging, and the weight of inherited narratives; a gentle meditation on how the past shapes the present, revealed through small gestures and unspoken truths within a close-knit community. The episodic format allows for gradual world-building and a deepening understanding of its inhabitants.
