Synopsis:
This fantastic horror is a dark version of Little Red Riding Hood featuring motives of growing up and sexual maturation. Young Rosaleen falls asleep and dreams of living in a forest with her father, mother and sister. Soon, her sister gets killed by wolves. While her parents are grieving, Rosaleen visits her grandmother who gives her a red scarf and an advice to beware of strangers. Then she meets an attractive huntsman with whom she makes a wager: he will get a kiss if he arrives to her grandmother’s house first…
