Synopsis
Sweden, 1721. With food becoming increasingly scarce, two sisters turn to the maleficent
Gårdstomten for help. In return, he demands a simple gesture. A bowl of untouched
porridge every morning.

One day, Anna, crippled by hunger, takes a mouthful of porridge, much to the chagrin
of the Gårdstomten who unleashes a horrific evil in the form of the deadly Mylings.

I want to tell beautiful stories in a dark and twisted way that connects with people and gives them the same hope and motivation that movies have given me.
