A soothing nocturnal exploration of an unfamiliar forest, which increasingly reveals its beauty as you shine your torch around. Look at those trees, plants – or are those different creatures? While one hides from the light, another emerges in all its glory. It’s a rare focus on discovery rather than drama.
