Synopsis:

In a secluded, mist-shrouded village nestled amidst ancient forests, young Hana struggles to connect with the increasingly isolated inhabitants. The community’s traditions, deeply intertwined with the surrounding natural world, are slowly fading as generations drift further from their ancestral ways. When a mysterious traveler arrives bearing unsettling tales of the outside world, Hana finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about her home and her own identity.

The series explores themes of belonging, cultural preservation, and the delicate balance between tradition and progress. It unfolds with a deliberate pace, emphasizing atmosphere and character interaction over high-octane action. The narrative delicately portrays the emotional complexities of adapting to change while grappling with a sense of loss and the search for meaning within a dwindling community. This quiet exploration offers a contemplative viewing experience rich in subtle storytelling and evocative imagery.
