Recommended for ages 16+ A society of justice, punishment and paranoia against strangers . The new Skalde, a former newcomer who has earned the respect of the community, has found her place here. After the disappearance of the neighbor's sheep, she meets the little Maisie, who keeps a secret. By taking care of the stranger's children, Skalde breaks the village code and loses her privileges. The community that guards every step of the territory thinks that maybe Meise is not what she seems. Skalde, in his defense, offers a deal promised in blood…

Fear of the stranger, guarding identity, isolation and drawing chalk boundaries. The Swiss director Beša, by adapting Helena Bukowski's novel 2021, has created an indefinable but recognizable time and space and explosiveness of events. A fairy tale with magic, wolves and witches, which allegorically breaks through the fragile points of modern society and stands alongside von Trier's "Dogville" (2003). The guests are played by the brightest actors of the German-speaking area - including Ulrich Mates, who played the main role in Dāvjas Sīmanis' debut feature film "Pelnu sanatorija" (2016).
