The Vanished Girl

Like a phantom in the valley, she is a fleeting presence, barely more than a distant memory. For years, she has lived alone in the shadows of the Cévennes mountains, far from human contact, slipping into homes only to steal food and blankets. Everyone has caught a glimpse of her, but no one dares to approach — except her mother, Niki, who holds on to a fragile connection with the wild girl.

As she drifts further from the ‘civilized’ world, her seclusion becomes a mystery the valley can no longer ignore. Her erratic behavior stirs fear and controversy, unsettling the foundations of what was once an idealistic community. Caught between her duty to the troubled town and her unrecognizable daughter, Niki faces a heart-wrenching decision. The extent of what she must do to reach her will come at a significant cost.
