Trigrad is a remote village in the Julian Alps, where the main wealth is the forest. Wood is not only the foundation of the wood industry, on which the well-being of the village depends, but it also has a higher significance. It is a place where mysterious and sacred powers hide. In this mystical environment, we follow the story of the main protagonist Crt, who left his native mountain village as a child and returned after many years of absence as a successful architect to sell the forest he inherited from his late father. On his return, the main character encounters unusual events, and the line between reality and imagination is increasingly blurred. With the new findings, it faces a key dilemma, namely whether to sell the forest or not.
