Synopsis
Once upon a time there was a teenage girl named Alice (Natacha Regnier) who lived in a Paris suburb. She was a pretty girl who like to play games. Games of seduction. Games of violence. One day Alice decided to kill Said (Salim Kechiouche), a handsome and cocky classmate. But she couldn't possibly do it alone. So Alice manipulated her naive friend Luc (Jeremie Renier) into committing the cold-blooded crime as proof of his true love for her.
Alice and Luc went to the forest to hide Said's body. Once this was completed, they discovered they were lost. Unwittingly going deeper into the woods they eventually came across an isolated cabin where a lone woodsman (Miki Manojlovi) lived and Alice and Luc didn't realize they were about to discover that life is not a fairy tale at all.
