Resin

1 hr. 32 min. | Thriller | N-16

"Don't let the people living in town fool you. Don't. I know that some of them may seem nice."

13-year-old Liv lives deep in the forest with her father Jens and her obese, bedridden mother Maria. Sheltered from the outside world the family survives on what they can find in nature. Here, even the smallest things have a soul, and the greatest meaning can be found in the journey of an ant into the sap of tree roots. What Liv doesn’t know, is that her parents have a dark secret; they have made the outside world believe that she is dead in an attempt to escape society’s norms and demands.

Because of technical reasons the screening on November 16th 20:45 in "Pasakos" film theatre. The screening has been moved to November 19th, time to be announced yet. We're sorry for any inconvenience.
