Welcome to the Village
6.1
A young couple decided to start their life together by moving to a remote village. They encounter a very supportive community that does everything it can to make them feel welcome. In spite of that and although they feel the pressure to have a child soon, there is a latent threat. In fact, the village holds a secret that will change their minds. Rural life is no longer idyllic.
