Young, brimming with hope, and striving to build a better life for their children and themselves, Asia and Marek, have relocated to the edge of one of Europe's oldest forests, along Polandâs eastern border. For their three children, the forest is not only a vast playground but also something akin to a second home. However, as the refugee crisis casts its long shadow on the whole of Europe and Polandâs borders turn into one of the central scenes of this drama, with unwelcome refugees trapped between two countries, the familyâs quiet days seem numbered. Aiding âillegal immigrantsâ is prohibited by their countryâs laws, but how does one refuse to help someone in need? Discovering a captivating, poetic equilibrium between the deeply personal and the essentially political, Forest brings to the forefront the natural landscape, as well as the charactersâ emotional environment, crafting a film that resonates loudly and goes beyond pompous statements.
