o.v. French, ST Eng.
Luna returns to the family house where her younger sister Diana still lives. Diana has been living alone in this large, dilapidated house since the death of their father. Both of the sisters have a very different relationship with the past: if Luna left the house to free herself from the past, she wants to sell it to move on. Diana, on the other hand, refuses to turn the page and buries herself in her memories. If no words can bring them together, the two sisters decide to settle their dispute through a family tradition: a hunt. The first one who brings back a deer will win the house. The forest will be the cradle where the two sisters will confront their lifelong differences.
