“I’m afraid. I’m afraid for them or for myself. I’m afraid of them or of myself. I’m afraid of them within me. I don’t know, because I’m a plant, and plants don’t reflect on themselves.” As he boards the train, a young man stumbles upon a lost notebook, Louise’s. As he turns the pages, he discovers, captivated, the story of this young woman caught between ghosts and fantasies. Soon, Louise will draw Thomas to her, into the heart of a forest where dreams come to life.
