In the pastoral French village of Orfeia, a mother's grief for her lost daughter draws forth otherworldly forces. As she ventures into the forest, the line between reality and fantasy blurs. Mythical creatures - nymphs, selkies, and more - emerge from the shadows, their fates entwined with hers. A poetic exploration of love, loss, and the power of storytelling to transcend the boundaries of the mortal world.
