Forest

A Polish family moves to the forest near the Belarusian border to live out their dream of self-sufficiency. But their idyll crumbles when Russia invades Ukraine, and Lukashenko starts pushing migrants across the border. The forests surrounding their home turn into a geopolitical powder keg, and suddenly, human shadows appear in the footage from their wildlife cameras. Reluctantly, the family becomes activists. In a dreamlike, visually stunning portrayal, Forest explores the cost of being humane—and whether dreams can survive in a world of chaos.
