1945

After WW2, Aletta’s father comes home from war. She has no memory of him, only the image of a father, but he is nothing like she had imagined- or hoped. 

     The moment her father arrives, everything changes horribly. Her childhood, her world, her home changes. The place she once knew as peaceful was now shattered by reality: illness, death, being a witness to a mysterious murder, and the demand to grow up. 

     In desperation, she finds a place where reality seems to fade, and fantasy grows in a mythological forest that is dying. All while being a witness to a murder, having to choose whether to reveal the murderer or to keep it a secret. However, the deeper she goes into the fantasy, the more the line between reality and fantasy blurs. 

        1945 has many meanings, but the main one is: there comes a time when you must choose to stay quiet or to speak out the truth, even if the outcome is shattering.
