Away from the city with his family after being deemed a bad influence in his neighbourhood, Nino wanders in a haunted forest : Almamula takes away those who commit "carnal sins and impure acts". It’s summer: the bodies sweat, the line between dream and reality becomes blurry. In a world surrounded by whispers, unspoken desires and prayers, Nino’s curiosity and impulses surface. As an escape from a reality flooded with toxicity, repressions and interdictions, the hidden and sensuous mysteries of the forest become increasingly attractive to Nino.
