THE DARKNESS

The earth stopped spinning and the days of running. A dense and toxic mist encloses the forest in an eternal twilight. Algiers has spent his childhood locked in the basement of a hut with his two brothers. They believe that outside in the forest a wild beast is roaming. When his older brother disappears, Algiers decides to search for him even if it means disobeying the rules set by his father. Little by little he will discover the mysteries his father and the forest hide.
