Synopsis
At the Montseny forest, little Tanit roams freely because she has no other choice: a high-risk pregnancy forces her mother to rest. One day, while looking for her dog Xuc in the forest, Tanit meets Grandma Perona, an old woman who lives alone in the woods and whom everyone takes for a witch. Tanit will begin to learn the secrets of the forest. Perona’s health worsens fast, threatening her way of life. Meanwhile, at home, the death of the long-awaited sister will force Tanit to grow up too soon.
