About the Film and Filmmakers

The Story

At an exclusive boarding school filled with girls in navy, no one seems to see Miranda. Alone in the world, she longs to find someone who’ll watch over her. Each day, she gazes at the woods beyond her window, believing something more beautiful than she could imagine must be within it ~ something she belongs with. Though the wood is forbidden, a secret letter, an old diary, and a ring she finds at the school lead her to the wood and a mystery ~ and to believe in things felt, but unseen.
