First Age

In First Age, an autonomous group of children has established their own agrarian commune on a remote island. They follow strict rules and beliefs, guided by the eldest among them. The absence of adults, who are banished to the surrounding woods, creates a unique environment that shapes their lives.

The film delves into the community's ritualistic practice of sending the oldest member to jump off a cliff each year, believed to grant eternal youth. However, this way of life faces challenges when a curious child ventures into the forbidden forest, threatening the established order. The runtime of 82 minutes offers a concise yet impactful narrative that captures the essence of this isolated society.
