What a visual
delight! Immediately reminiscent (and probably better than) PAN'S LABYRINTH
and THE ORPHANAGE, this is a 'very Asian' interpretation of the classic
Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. When a man gets lost in a country road,
he meets a mysterious girl in the woods. She escorts him to her home,
an ageless house in the middle of the forest. The man is introduced to
her siblings (who never age) and he soon realizes that he's become their
captive.
