Original subtitles

I am the Leaf-Child.

I live deep inside the Enchanted Forest,

hidden from the outside world, of which I know nothing.

The forest is vast.

It can swallow you.

You are not ready to see what's out there.

Beyond our borders.

Dad.

Dad! Dad!

A deer.

I'll get it next time.

Show me.

Use both hands.

Harder.

M is for moss.

M is for mist.

M is for magic.

M is for Marko.

You're not listening.

Always listen. Always.

Never make a sound.

When you're quiet, you become one

with the Forest.

It keeps you safe from the evil outside.

We cannot let the evil

catch us unprepared.

You're still weak and small.

If you go outside now, you will turn into dirt,

you'll cease to be.

But what did I teach you?

What does your picture book say?

One day,

the Leaf-Child will grow strong.

The Forest will set it free

so the Child can find its Fairy.

THE LEAF-CHILD

The Enchanted Forest shelters me.

It often whispers to me stories about the Fairy.

The beautiful Fairy, that breathed life into my leaves with her spells.

But she left a long time ago. Now she is far away,

in a distant, mysterious place called the Stone Valley.

"The Enchanted Forest keeps me safe from the Evil Wind.

The Wind wants to wither and blow away my leaves.

I'll never allow the Evil Wind to harm you,"

the Forest whispered.

I am the Leaf-Child.

When I go to sleep, I dream of my fairy.

You will never find me here.

I'm Marko.

Marko.

What about you?

Miko.

Your name starts with M too!

I have it here, on my hand, see?

M as in Marko.

Now you have an M too.

As in Miko.

Have you seen the evil ones?

I haven't.

Dad says they're scared of the forest.

The forest--

But the forest let you in.

So you can't be evil.

Me good.

Before my eyes-- let it rage--

Without knowing-- cross their own borders--

They soaked-- blood-- ones who sought help--

Then, it awakened--

They wanted to--

Me good.

Hey, hey! Hey!

Stop, don't move!

I'll stand here, see?

I won't make a step.

Not a step.

Did Miko give you that?

So you're not deaf.

And here I thought squirrels got your ears.

The man in the woods, he's your father?

Is there anyone else except you two?

Do you have a mother?

Hold on.

A gift.

Where were you?

You were not at the stream.

You didn't hear me?

Not once?

Where were you?!

M is for mother.

All newborn--

the ones with power--

did not understand--

it will get to them--

ones who sought safety-- found rage-- in blood--

They must cease to be--

Eat.

What's wrong?

Do I have a mother?

Go to bed.

The Enchanted Forest knows that I am lonely.

It tries to comfort me.

"You are special,"

the Forest whispered.

"It's always hard to find someone like yourself

when you're different."

I am the Leaf-Child.

And I don't want to be special.

Go back.

They were close. Too close.

What do you want from me?

You took everything.

You want him too?

You abandoned me.

You were going to help.

They can't have him.

Not him!

You won't have him.

No!

Charge! After him!

You wanted rain, didn't you?

No, hold on, no...

Raise it. Take a photo.

Do you want a brother or a sister?

- A brother. - There you go!

Wait a minute.

Just look straight ahead. Straight ahead. Watch it...

Marko--

You have to know that--

I never wanted to leave you.

Irina!

I love you so much.

Irina!

- Your father-- - Irina!

Open the door, Miko!

Marko!

Where's Mama?

Where's Mama?

She went to catch a deer.

Marko, wait!

I want Mama.

She is gone.

My dad is now evil.

He turned her into dirt.

I want Mama.

Marko! Marko!

Marko!

Are you hurt?

Did they do something to you?

Marko!

Miko!

Miko!

Miko!

Do you see now? Do you?

- They are all evil. - You're evil!

You're just like them!

You killed Miko's mother.

That's not true.

I saw you.

Move on!

Did you kill my mother too?

What?

What?

That's not--

Listen to me, Marko.

- Your mother-- - I saw her!

She was afraid of you!

You understand nothing. Let's go!

No!

Stay here.

Be quiet.

Come on.

He's safe.

- Marko! - Miko.

I didn't kill his mom.

They got her.

She would have turned evil. Like them.

I saved her.

Do you trust me?

Do you, Marko?

Did you save Mom too?

Irina--

Is she dirt now too?

Is she dead?

No, no. No.

She's a fairy.

A fairy in white.

See?

White Fairies never turn into dirt.

They never turn evil.

Look at her in the picture.

Look--

She's smiling. Her smile keeps the evil away.

Let's go home, Dad.

What did I teach you, son?

One day...

...the Leaf-Child...

...will grow strong enough...

...and will find...

- its Fairy. - its Fairy.

No!

Get away!

Don't--

Don't look back.

You won't turn evil, will you?

No.

Mama say no.

Me not like others.

What are you like?

Like you.

One day, the Evil Wind brought in

scary monsters with fangs of steel.

They began devouring the Forest's trees.

The Forest whispered sadly to the boy:

"It's time for us to part.

Forever.

I will turn into dirt.

You have to leave me.

You are strong enough.

Leave and never come back."

"Find her.

Find your fairy."

I will find her, Dad.

I ran away as far as I could.

I never turned back, I never stopped.

I could still hear the words, echoing from afar:

Reach the Stone Valley.

That's where your Fairy is.

Always remember what I taught you.

Beware of the ones you meet on your journey.

You will know how.

Be brave. Have faith.

And one day, you will find her.

I am big now.

I am strong enough.

I am the Leaf-Child,

and I left the Enchanted Forest behind me.

Heartbroken, I lived in horror.

I watched as they left--

...their walls too.

They fought in blood and fury to protect themselves

from those who sought salvation.

It was then that the veil of deceit fell,

and the truth revealed itself before me.

The virus, awakening--

My children, they--

Kids.

We are hungry.

Where are you headed?

To the Stone Valley.

My mother is there.

I'd take you there myself,

but I can't just leave--

Ema, Victor,

and little Maya behind.

Maya! Look! We have guests.

You're hungry...

Hey, little one,

you two seem normal, to me.

So...

Just a second, Maya.

Kids these days...

So it means there is a cure. Right?

Kids...

Bad... Bad place.

I'm Marko.

Such an interesting phenomenon.

Pure. Like an angel.

Such angels can't get the virus.

Uh...

The other one... Marko. Hm?

An anomaly.

Maybe there are more like him out there. Hm?

Hope.

Blind hope.

It's the last thing we need.

Tomorrow.

Is he your brother?

No.

Then why are you dragging him along?

He is alone.

I'm alone too.

But my mother will keep us safe.

Both of us.

She is a Fairy. I must find her.

When my children got infected,

they executed them without a question.

Without telling why.

It was then that the veil of deceit fell,

and the truth revealed itself before me.

My children only wanted for me to be with them.

To awaken me.

The virus brings us the gift of Awakening.

Now our enemy is only a lost echo of the past regime.

Their despair pushes them to an absurd war

against the Awakening.

They keep losing all their battles. Our support grows by the day.

The festering remnants of the system are collapsing.

They fight only to repeat the cycle of history...

And our self-annihilation.

Nature found a way to change who we are.

To save the world with our Awakening.

Our children were our hope to set things straight.

But children grow up.

They keep repeating

the cycle of pain and suffering, over and over.

All newborns carry the virus.

It's a clear sign by the Almighty

that our time has passed.

We have to resign ourselves to a world with no children.

The time has come to embrace the Awakening.

Join us. You will understand why.

We are not alone.

The others, they have evil inside them.

But not you. Never.

You are special.

I want to take Miko.

Go.

Run!

Hope.

Water!

Want water.

I want water.

I should have left you.

I'll find you water.

Marko!

He left him.

We'll check inside.

I'm sorry, son.

Beware of the ones you meet on your journey.

I can still hear dad's voice.

The Evil Wind leaves ahead only scary monsters.

Dark. Scary. Filled with hate.

The Evil Wind hates children like me.

It wants to turn me into dust. Because I am special.

Marko!

My leaves began to wither.

There is no trace of the Stone Valley.

I am the Leaf-Child.

And I am so scared.

You won't turn evil, will you?

Me not like others.

What are you like?

Me good.

Like you.

I want Mama.

Like you...

No trace of the Stone Valley.

The Child's leaves began to wither.

A terrifying howl echoed.

It was the Evil Wind, the Child's old enemy.

The Wind unleashed all its fury on the Leaf-Child.

The Leaf-Child saw an opening in the rocks.

With the last ounce of strength,

the Leaf-Child threw itself inside the opening.

The Wind couldn't get inside.

All became silent.

His Forest was now distant and soundless.

It didn't speak to the Leaf-Child anymore.

One day...

...the Leaf-Child...

...will grow strong enough...

...and will find...

- its Fairy. - its Fairy.

The committees call them refugees.

But let me tell you, these so-called humanitarian committees lie.

They aren't fleeing from anything.

This is not migration.

This is an invasion!

Invasion of our culture,

of our society,

of our homes, of our world.

Those so-called refugees are coming here

to devastate our future,

to desecrate and destroy our future generations.

I'm not a cruel man.

The united parties of the West trust in justice.

We have faith in humanity.

We don't want to see them suffer.

I grieve deeply for the lost lives of their children,

but we did not start their wars.

We must protect our children.

We must put an end to this invasion.

The walls we build are not enough!

So we must use the final, final solution!

Final solution!

We'll fight rage with rage!

Those filthy usurpers have no idea of the power

of our righteous rage!

I called my Fairy

for the last time

as loud as I could.

Dad...

Dad once told me,

even if I ever have to leave my Forest,

it will never truly abandon me.

And it will show me the way to my Fairy.

And the stone towers roared.

And their walls too.

The earth beneath me rumbled.

Then a gentle breeze began to stir.

It was not the Evil Wind,

but a sweet, mellow breeze,

flowing with the scents of blossoming spring.

Everything grew quiet.

Sparkling in a golden glow,

there she stood,

the Fairy.

Her shine was brighter than the sun.

Cease fire!

Delta, calling retreat. Delta Force, calling retreat.

Confirmed, Delta Force, proceed with evac.

Repeat, proceed with evacuation.

Hi, blondie.

My Phillip looked just like you.

Confirm, Delta Force. Proceed with the evacuation.

Repeat, proceed with the evacuation.

Sorry, kiddo.

This is for your own good.

"What happened to you, my dear?"

She spoke with a silky voice.

"The Forest," I whispered...

"The Forest is gone.

Now I'm alone."

Lieutenant!

"All alone.

So I came to find you."

Lieutenant Gregoric, step aside!

It will get us all anyway.

What's your status, Delta Force?

Lieutenant, the area has fallen!

The Fairy murmured sadly,

"The Forest is gone, yes,

but you have found me."

My name is Marko.

This M is for Marko.

All alone...

Lieutenant, we have orders from the command quarters.

We must evacuate--

He has the mark!

To all units, requesting backup.

Completing orders.

Will you be my fairy?

To all units, secure the area at all costs.

Will you come with me, Marko?

Secure transport ASAP.

Come on.

Then the Fairy smiled.

"Come with me, little one,

and you will never be alone again."

My leaves turned green again and were full of life.

"I'll never be alone again," I echoed,

and held the Fairy tight in my embrace,

as the world around us

melted away in the colors of the rainbow.

My name is Marko.

I am the Leaf-Child.

And I found my Fairy.
