Into the Forest Page #2

Synopsis: In a world that is increasingly dependent on electricity, a power outage seems like an awful predicament. Mankind is using electricity for the past 140 years, but still, we can't imagine ourselves living in a world deprived of electricity. In such a difficult and dreary situation found themselves a father and his two daughters, after a seemingly normal power outage lingered on, changing the lives of everyone in the region. What was the reason for this outage? Is it regional, or does it affect the whole country? No one really knows and as time passes, the family will have to put to the test its survival skills, adaptability and endurance, but most of all, the integrity of the familial bonds.

Hey, Nell.

When people fall down,

sometimes it's okay.

No.

Not that big of a deal.

Alright.

Is that your sister?

Yeah.

See you next week maybe.

Of course.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Alright.

- Bye.

- Bye.

It was nice meeting you,

Nell's sister.

You too.

Uh, Nell's stubbed her toe.

Yeah?

And my face.

Stubbed face.

Ouch.

We should start a band.

A family band.

That sounded good.

How was dance?

Uh...

Ruby doesn't think

I'm going to be ready

for the national auditions.

Really?

Yeah, I mean, she doesn't

say that exactly,

but I can tell.

I'm just never gonna get back

in the game.

No. Come on, I mean,

you ruined your knee.

That takes time.

I know, but it's not-

it's not my knee.

I'm just ancient.

So what does that make me?

Super old.

What have we here?

You guys need a hand?

Everything okay?

Alright.

I'll take that as a yes.

Oh, girls.

Lights on.

How's your toe?

And your face?

Aside from totally wrecked.

It's okay.

This bread is stale

and totally gross.

'Morning, sweet-pea.

'Morning.

Mmm. Powdered milk.

So we're not going to be going

into town for a while.

What?

Why?

Just for a while.

We don't know when the

power's gonna come back on.

We have water, wood,

plenty of food.

We have to.

We're safe here.

Dad, we have to!

No.

Who says you get to be

the one to decide?

I'm just gonna take

the car myself.

I know she doesn't mean it.

Yeah, I know.

What do you think this is?

Peaches.

Ugh, no!

Woof.

No!

Woof, woof.

So, what?

We're just gonna hole up

here for the rest of our lives?

No, we'll wait out the

power outage, pumpkin.

I'm not your f***ing pumpkin!

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.

No.

Thanks, sweetie.

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Oh, oh.

Ah!

Girls, girls, girls.

I'm leaking, I'm leaking.

Take care of each other.

Shut up, dad!

Dad, you're gonna be okay, dad.

You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.

Love each other.

You're gonna be fine.

Hey, hey, hey.

Dad!

Dad!

I think it's those wild pigs.

Hey, Eva.

There's um... eggs.

I want to fill the generator.

What?

Let's fill the generator.

Right now, before it gets

too dark and we spill some.

Why?

'Cause I want to see mom

and dad.

We can watch home movies,

and I could put music on

and dance.

We can't.

We have to save it for the Jeep.

There's, like, five gallons

in here.

We only need two to get to town.

Yeah, and two to get back.

Okay, so four.

That leaves one for right now.

I'm sorry. We...

We have to save it

for an emergency.

I need it.

You don't need it.

Come on, this is our

life insurance.

Our life insurance.

Yeah.

Ours.

Half mine.

Of course it's half yours,
