Nino is considered a bad influence on the other boys of his neighbourhood and has to face homophobic attacks on the street. For that reason, Nino and his parents temporarily move to the countryside. Far from the city, Nino wanders in a forest that is thought to be haunted by Almamula, a monster which kidnaps those who commit sexual sins and impure acts. Nino’s curiosity and impulses emerge in a world of whispers, untold desires and prayers. The sensual mysteries, hidden among the trees, become more and more alluring. A tense and magical debut film by Juan Sebastian Torales.
