Forêt Debussy

Deep in the mountains, a mother and a daughter live an isolated quiet life. The Daughter (Gwei Lun-Mei) looks lean and fragile. She seems unreactive toward her surroundings, confining herself in her own wretched world. The Mother (Lu Yi-Ching) is like a guardian angel who always protects her and takes care of everything. Before living in seclusion, the Daughter was a pianist who lost her husband and son. The Mother decided to take her away from the city, cutting her off from civilization to live in the mountains where no one could ever find them. She believes this is the only possible way for her daughter to survive. They live off the land, brave the elements and remain confined in an existence devoid of human encroachment. They are completely alone, except for their thoughts, which seem amplified as the Daughter's past comes back to haunt her. (Hawaii International Film Festival)
