The Hunters

Best Short Fiction David Pinheiro Vicente Portugal, France, Fiction, Portuguese, 00:29:46

1970 something. As the end of an era of repression approaches, a bourgeois family still in its bubble of power spends its vacation in a country house. The teenage cousins spend their days in indolence, interrupted by fits of hysteria. It will only take the introduction of an outside element for violence to erupt.
