Forest
Ångerman Maria
Three persons meet in the forest where they used to play as children. They have not seen each other since. The encounter is charged with guilt, accusation and defense, but also with the wish to re-conciliate. The film does not reveal what happened, how and why, but focuses on the moment of encounter, captured by a continuously moving camera.
