Film Synopsis
John and Karen, a Scottish couple, turn their backs on civilisation and live
far from the milling throng in the heart of a forest in the French Pyrenees.
Home for them is a hole in the ground, beneath the trunk of a dead tree.
Every day, John goes out to look for food, whilst Karen remains in their
hole making clothes out of animal skins. One day, Karen is badly stung
by a spider and soon falls ill. Anxious, John sets out to look for
assistance and encounters a French farmer named André who lives in
the area. André becomes fascinated by the Scottish couple and
wonders what led them to live such a basic life. Little does he know
that John and Karen have a secret that they are determined to keep to themselves...
