There are things in the forest that the villagers "can't mention". This thing is so terrifying that the red color associated with it has become a taboo that must not appear in the village. Young people dare not approach the forest, let alone leave the village and go through the forest to the town. , and this "thing that cannot be mentioned" turned out to be meticulously fabricated, performed and exaggerated by the respected elders in the village. This is an innocent deception. The unbearable pain of losing a loved one makes the elders extremely disgusted with a world full of fraud and killing because of money and desire. Therefore, they choose to isolate themselves from the world for the rest of their lives, and unite to build a moneyless, A small society guided by goodness and justice to make themselves and their children a happy life. However, the contradiction appeared when the brave, kind and independent-minded Lucius was dying. Compared with the outside world, the seemingly peaceful and prosperous small village lacked material and medicines needed to save people. Ivy's father, one of the elders, told the truth to the "superbly capable" Ivy who loved Lucius, and allowed her to go through the forest to buy medicine in the town. On the way, Ivy accidentally killed the crazy Noah dressed as a monster and brought back the medicine. The elders decided to continue to keep the secret of the village, and used Noah's death to make the "things that cannot be mentioned" more terrifying and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and to keep the villagers more firmly in the village they thought was full of goodness and justice.
However, can this secret be passed on from generation to generation, and can the materialistic society allow the existence of an ideal socialist society? The elders are also not firm on this, and should let the younger generation choose for themselves, "If everything ends, it will end."
Ivy's father went through a strong inner struggle. On the one hand, he didn't want to break the rules of the village. On the other hand, he came from the real world. It is sin, which also destroys the "innocence" that the elders seek. Also, I think Ivy and Lucius are the successors that the elders look for, they are suitable to "lead those who will only follow", and they are very important to maintain the village after the death of the elders.
