You Won't Be Alone

Set in an isolated mountain village in nineteenth-century Macedonia, You Won't Be Alone follows a girl taken from her mother by an ancient spirit and raised apart from people in a sacred cave. When she emerges, she is transformed into a witch, and a fatal encounter with a villager becomes her first experience of another person's body. Taking the dead woman's shape, she discovers what it feels like to live a human life, and her curiosity pushes her to keep taking the forms of others.

It is a co-production between Australia, the United Kingdom, Macedonia and Serbia, made by Head Gear Films, Metrol Technology and Causeway Films, with 56 credited crew members.
