Photographer Charles Castle is numbed with grief following the death of his beautiful bride. He goes off to war, working in the trenches as a photographer. Following the war and still in grief Charles is given some photographs purporting to be of fairies. His search for the truth leads him to Burkinwell, a seemingly peaceful village seething with secrets

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful, melancholic journey into grief and the allure of the impossible. It feels like a faded photograph, imbued with a quiet sense of wonder and profound sadness, set against a sepia-toned past.
