A modern re-imagining of classic fable Little Red Riding Hood, this tightly calibrated film explores trauma, grief and redemption in a dangerous world.

Restrained and understated, this is a dark psychological drama featuring strong performances in which gradual insights and twists pack an emotional punch.
