Premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. Set during the summer at an apartment complex surrounded by an ominous, fairy-tale-like forest, The Innocents (2022) follows the sinister, increasingly alarming interactions of a group of prepubescent children. Four of these children become friends during the summer holidays, and out of sight of the adults they discover they have hidden powers. While exploring their newfound abilities in the nearby forests and playgrounds, their innocent play takes a dark turn and strange things begin to happen.
