Four children become friends during the summer holidays, and out of sight of the adults they discover they have hidden powers. While exploring their newfound abilities in the nearby forests and playgrounds, their innocent play takes a dark turn and strange things begin to happen.

VIBE

A deceptively quiet film that builds a creeping dread. It feels like a sun-drenched summer day slowly curdling into something sinister, seen through the unfiltered, often terrifying lens of childhood.
