Description
In the remote north of England, a young woman named Silvie finds her life irrevocably altered when her family joins an experimental archaeology course. Living as if they were ancient Britons, they forage, hunt, and build according to Iron Age practices, a stark contrast to the modern world. As Silvie immerses herself in this primal existence, she begins to question her father's all-consuming obsession with the past and the restrictive life he has imposed upon her. The reenactment culminates in the construction of a symbolic 'ghost wall,' a ritual that unexpectedly blurs the lines between history and terrifying reality, forcing Silvie to confront the true cost of living in the past.
