A surreal film with a life-sized dummy as protagonist. A fairy tale-thriller about outsiders, represented by the Woodman. The Woodman is being chased by evil powers through his forest until he hides in the Woman's house. She is first frightened but feels sympathy for the Woodman. She has to leave, the Woodman is trapped. His refuge becomes his prison. The house is looked after by the Caretaker, who ultimately helps the Woodman escape. Will he find his way back home? This is the reverse of the usual representation: the Woodman wants to go home. Nobody was born to become a refugee.
