ECHO

This is a story of a difficult relationship between a demanding father and his 11 year old son. After a longer absence the father unexpectedly comes back and takes his son on a holiday. In a mysterious forest he teaches the boy basic skills that each man must know in order to survive in the most difficult conditions: how to make a fire, build a hut and hide under water.
