A young woman, Junta, lives apart from her village and, for her solitude and strangeness, is considered to be a witch; when she comes to the village for one reason or another, the townsfolk chase her away. They feel that she may in some way be responsible for the deaths of several young men of the village, who have felt compelled, one by one, to climb the local mountain - and fall to their deaths - on nights when the moon is full.

VIBE

A haunting, dreamlike descent into rural superstition and doomed romance. Its stark visuals and melancholic tone create an unforgettable, unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
