SPIRIT OF THE FOREST


Poster - SPIRIT OF THE FOREST

Spirit of the Forest is an ecological fairytale set in the endemic nutmeg swamps of southern India. A little girl stumbles into a sacred grove near her village and in doing so disturbs the spirit of the forest. She learns the origins of the ancient swamp, tracing it from Gondwanaland, through the times of her ancestors until the present day.
