Follow Yuri (Helena Zengel), a teenager from a remote island known as Carpathia. Raised by a loving and comically militant father (Willem Dafoe), she is taught to fear and hunt the mythical species known as the Ochi. But when Yuri, closed-off and misunderstood, encounters a baby ochi, wounded and alone, she finds an inexplicable sense of kinship. Rebelling against the rules of her father and her world, she runs away from home and embarks on a quest to reunite the creature with its family in this story of love, longing, and acceptance.
