It was dark when two mysterious, shrouded figures appeared in a hillside village. The strangers knocked on every door in town, asking for food and shelter. But, again and again, they were turned away. Soon, there was just one door left: that of a small, thatched shack. Would the owners help the visitors — or spurn them? Iseult Gillespie shares the myth of Baucis and Philemon. \[Directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency, narrated by Adrian Dannatt, music by Stephen LaRosa\].
