Synopsis

Graveyards come alive at night as martens, bats, and wild cats navigate the eerie landscape, challenging perceptions of the world of the dead.

Synopsis

Anyone who dares to visit this sinister place at night needs strong nerves. Didn't this tombstone just move? Was that a rustling of steps behind me? Did a scream come from the grave? Is it all just imagination? Not at all. The world of the dead shows great signs of life: martens lurk behind gravestones, bats hunt in the dim moonlight, wild cats scuffle between grave candles.
