Modern Childhood

In a cabin of the deep of the forest, a child and his father lead a wild and hard life in utmost isolation. The child grows up fearing and admiring his father, with the ghosts haunting the forest as his only companions. Until the day he discovers the neighbouring village and meets a young girl there, Manon. At her side, he discovers that love exists. From then on he won't cease to search for the place where his father's love for him is hiding.

On a cliff-side off the coast of Ireland, a shepherd steers his sheep from the incoming storm where Death is there to greet him. A huge lightning bolt strikes the shepherd and the jig dance of the Dead conducts the soul of the shepherd toward a psychedelic afterlife.
