Together, Yuki and Nina devise schemes in order to get her parents back together. Running away seems like the only solution in the end - the forest will be their new destination. "A 'coup de cœur'. The demonstration that the most beautiful things could also be the most simple." Serge Kaganski, Les Inrockuptibles 2009 Cannes International Film Festival – Directors' Fortnight
