STORIES FROM THE CHESTNUT WOODS

by Gregor Božič

synopsis

In the mid-20th century, in a forested valley between Italy and Yugoslavia, a stingy widower befriends a young woman and helps her depart in search of a new life across the ocean. A chance encounter gives rise to a dreamy parable on loss, regrets and the power of imagination.
