Alzou

The unique local queer community that once thrived in the Alzou Valley has vanished. Alzou - the deity of the river - moves cautiously through the landscape, lost yet determined, searching for a way to restore balance in the valley after years of exile. The dense forest envelops them, whispering its secrets as they linger in silence, attempting to reconnect with nature.
