Logline: Two women tend to the bones of the forest as they conjure magic and lore.

Synopsis: Two otherworldly figures commune with the forest set deep within the grey cliffs of Wales, where the Celtic myth of Blodeuwedd reverberates. They move fleetingly through the body of trees; branches snapping under their bare feet like bones, as they wind a long red umbilical cord, whispering incantations in the language of the woods. Pre-empting the violent felling due to take place, they spill milk from their mouths and lay foraged fruit and wildflowers into the open wound of a fallen pine. An owl watches from afar.
