The forest environment has historically been one of the most symbolic spaces and an ideal territory for intrigues within cinematography. The narrative transports us to a small village at the foot of the mountains, where the mayor Tonet, a cinema enthusiast, had set up a projection room behind the Casinet, the town square café.

This makeshift room, featuring a canvas screen and an Ossa projector borrowed from the Congregacions Marianes of the county seat city, required spectators to bring their own chairs. The screening was constantly interrupted to change the reel, a ritual that set the pace for the entertainment of the era.

The protagonist of this story is Pauet, an orphan boy taken in by the farmers of Cala Tuies. After working all week, he would cycle down to the village on Saturday evenings to go to the cinema. He sat mesmerized in the front row, especially by Westerns in color, such as the film screened one autumn evening: Distant Horizons, a film by Anthony Mann starring Jimmy Stewart.

While returning to the farmhouse by bicycle, skirting the forest, the fog began to descend. Despite knowing the way, Pauet heard a lament coming from the thicket of pines. Upon entering the dense woods, the darkness enveloped him until he encountered a very pale child who looked at him with sad eyes and pleaded for help. After a fruitless chase, the night ended up swallowing the young Pauet.
