She keeps wander deeper and deeper into the forest until she came across a fox, she was about to greet to cute little fox before the fox run fast straight into a rabbit and bit it’s neck, dead.
She was shocked but she keeps thinking about the good things around her, the rainbow, the unicorn, and the happy lives she has on her future so she decided to go away from the vicious brutal hungry fox and wander deeper into the forest.
A crow whose nest is around, saw the little girl and decided to fly around the girl. The sweet little girl looks at the crow and she seems happy about it until the crow fly so fast and snatch her pearl necklace she was shocked and mad it was so meaningful to her, she tries to catch the bird but she couldn’t and at the end she gives up and let the crow fly away.
She keeps wander into the forest that starts to get darker and darker, she stumble upon a hut, she seems happy and expected a hospitality from the owner cause she is very hungry and she knock the hut’s door, some scary voice came from inside, but she is still in front of the door, waiting with her wide smile and her expectation.
A dark creature opens the door and roar at her made her scared, the dark creature made a gesture so that the girl go and the little girl go away with sad face, “it was rude, it should do that” so thought to herself.
Now she sits under a tree the forest become more gloomy than before it’s so scary, her rainbow inside her head vanish, she is covered with fear, she can feel hundreds of eyeball looking at her from inside the forest, the red round eyes, looking hungry, full of scary thoughts and lust.
She can feel one pair the eyeballs starts to come closer, she stands up and starts running away, along the way she can see various kind of animal kill each other, deceit, lie, steal, rape and pretty much anything that they desire.
She was stopped when it was a cliff in front of her, she turns around and see the same fox that she saw earlier that day, comes towards her, hungry and ready to eat her as a whole.
She dodge the fox when it jumps towards her, she grabs a stone near her and bash it to the fox’s head until it died. She looks at it with sadness and sorry but her hungry stomach made her do that, she eats the raw fox until there’s nothing left.
From a near tree, the same crow perched and look at the hungry girl, her necklace is still on it’s beak and looks menacingly.
"I really wonder who the audience for a film like this is. You have a standard fairy tale/bedtime story set-up, but then you have animals killing and raping each other. It feels too disjointed and unsure to really find an audience."
