The Backwoods
A young English couple (Paddy Considine and Virginie Ledoyen) are going through a rough patch and decide to spend some time in the Basque country with their old friend Gary Oldman and his wife. But their tranquil '70s summer holiday turns into a nightmare when they discover a mutilated girl chained up in the forest.
