In a forest where every step is familiar, Sara searches for mushrooms but what she unearths instead are the long-buried truths of her own life. Nestled deep in the Bohemian Forest, Sara’s world is quiet and bound to the rhythms of nature. She has wandered the same wooded trails for seven years, filling her basket with mushrooms, her pockets with memories, and her thoughts with the past she cannot quite escape. The solitude suits her-until the death of her mother forces her to confront the tangled roots of family and the wounds that never fully healed. As Sara meticulously sorts through chanterelles and boletes, she also sorts through childhood recollections and the uneasy inheritance of trauma. The forest offers refuge, but it also holds secrets, and as the seasons shift, so does Sara’s understanding of herself and the complicated bonds that tether her to the world.
