synopsis
Daphne, a young activist, through a live TikTok broadcast is trying to raise awareness among her peers: the town’s mayor has decided to cut down an ancient forest to build a shopping center on it. However, the video is unsuccessful, and the next day, everyone in the class instead admires a video of a hip-hop dance posted on TikTok by Alessia, the honor student and daughter of the mayor. On the same day Daphne and Alessia clash and the former escapes into the woods where she meets a Nymph who proposes to challenge Alessia to a dance, benefiting from the creature’s magical dancing skills. The next day the mayor, torn by his daughter’s disappearance, discovers the sad truth about her fate right in the woods.
