It hasn't been long since a boy (Joshua Kaufman) has lost his mother, and his father (Nick Gregory) is just totally out of his league bringing up the boy on his own, even reverting to slapping him - and even though dad at least asks his son to hit back, that doesn't make it alright in the least. This ultimately leads to the boy making friends with an ogre (Lukas Hassel) he has met in the woods - who of course might be only a figment of his imagination, but maybe there's more to it ...

Now this short is something you sure enough don't see every day: A horror story about well-meant parenting gone horribly wrong, with some monstruous consequences. But the whole thing isn't told in an in-your-face way or trying to hit the message home with a sledgehammer, but told with an emphasis on atmosphere and a very artistic flavour.

Definitely one not to be missed!
