NOTES
The beautiful Valla travels through dangerous Gottyar Wood to get to Count Leonid's castle, but her face is torn to shreds en route and the Count is unhappy, in a female-forward narrative that borrows from horror, fairy tales and folklore
In this dark fairy tale-inspired horror, Valla leaves her bleak village to marry a mysterious count, believing her beauty is her greatest asset. But after a brutal journey through the deadly Gottyar Wood leaves her disfigured, she arrives at the castle to find rejection and danger instead of safety. Stripped of her looks and illusions, Valla must confront terrifying forces beyond the palace walls and tap into her inner strength to reclaim her life in a fierce, female-driven tale of survival and transformation
