Alva (16) thinks she is a freak. Again and again, she feels different from her peers — as if she didn’t belong anywhere. When Alva and her dad move back to Lohweide — a little village where her father grew up — things don’t get any easier. New school, new people — and a deep, dark forest all around. At school, Alva quickly makes friends (and also some enemies). She rapidly connects with Esma (17), a confident, caring and quite eccentric girl. Between the two teenagers, strong and romantic feelings evolve. So things seem pretty great at first. If there was not the weird forest and the mysterious tempers of nature Alva starts to observe. And then a strange story about her long-lost uncle starts to emerge … Trying to find answers — and maybe also herself — Alva dives deep into the forest and into a risky journey. What does this all mean? What does the forest want from her? This coming-of-age-series with mystery elements consists of 10 episodes à 20 minutes. All eps will be published in ZDF Mediathek. Preliminary distribution on TikTok involves shorter chapters with additional content. Target audience are 14-20 year olds. We expect it to be the first fictional German TikTok-series with a horizontal storyline and this level of cinematic approach and production value.
