A dark retelling of a classic fairy tale. The small town of Marbach has not changed its appearance for the last couple of hundred years. The forest surrounding it no longer frightens the locals, but legends about the creepy witch of the Gingerbread House force them to stay away from it. Gretel lives on the outskirts of Marbach, hiding from the tormenting ghosts of the past. Ten years ago, he and his brother found themselves in real hell. Now the young woman has agreed to tell the journalist her story, unraveling the threads of memory with the help of a psychologist. She has to remember everything. And the main thing is to face the truth: one day in the forest, children were hunted by witches, demons, turnip-headed Jack and even their own mother.
