Summary<\/h3>\n

In an isolated village, beyond temporal and geographical localisation, lives 14-year-old Daniel. The life of this gentle and tolerant boy, who only wants to please everyone, is marked by violence and emotional coldness. He sacrifices himself for his family, tries to please his violent big brother and devotedly cares for his terminally ill father, who longs for his own end but does not dare to end his life himself. In the forest, Daniel meets Marcel, an outcast who has returned to the village after many years and ekes out a living by fighting dogs. The two are united by their receptivity to the comforting silence of the forest and an intense relationship with nature.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93762″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

With a stoic expression, Daniel endures his disappointed hopes as well as the humiliations of his emotionally stunted fellow human beings, as if he wants to avoid becoming just like them until the end – even if that means surrendering to raw nature in the end.<\/p>\n
