📖 Story
Two lovers flee through the unforgiving Badlands, their passion burning as brightly as the violence in their wake. What begins as a tender romance between a vulnerable girl and a dangerous boy spirals into a tragic killing spree across desolate landscapes. Their journey becomes a haunting meditation on lost innocence, forbidden love, and the destructive power of devotion pushed to its darkest extremes. By film's end, tenderness and brutality have become inseparable, leaving only echoes of what they could have been.
