Synopsis:
“An isolated chalet in a snowy forest… A man blinded by alcohol… A woman unable to rebel… And an 8-year-old child troubled and dark… The silent night is broken with cries… the start of a terrible nightmare…”
‘The lion is the king of beasts and the kid Leon considers him as his hero. Who better than a lion, to defend a child?” When asked what the lion had to do with the film Melini then continued “But the lion, is it real or is it just an imagination?…”
Frankly correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never seen a horror film have a lion. I don’t think it’s ever been done before! I wonder how this short will turn out to be?!
