Synopsis
One Hell of a Honeymoon - In science they call it energy. In religion - faith. In layman's terms, it's "vibe" or atmosphere. Sixth Sense. Fortune tellers declare it as a premonition. Artists – spirituality. I don't know how it's right, I know it exists. And that he should be trusted.
Ben, young, crazy, with an appetite for adventure, quite by chance and unexpectedly meets Katie - gentle, emotional, inclined to romanticize life. Love finds its way and brings the two young people together. Ben and Katie fall in love. That way – real, original, inviolable. Soon they get married. And what comes next? Honeymoon of course. They decide to go to Montana, USA.
But what could go wrong?
Montana is beautiful. Breathtaking landscapes, divine nature, nice people. Unique flora and fauna. Heaven for the eyes, peace for the soul. Beavers building their dams, moose drinking water from the clear rivers, eagles flying high in the sky, lush forests with all kinds of plants, from red barberry to Canadian guilloche...
And a pervasive sense of insecurity. Something inexplicable. Something that Ben and Katie feel but can't explain to each other. Mysterious forest. Stories about a madman who escaped from an insane asylum. A sinister resort, a farm, an estate…? Something unknown and separate from the civilization there
In Montana, Ben and Katie encounter the most terrifying thing humanity has ever faced.
A story that, through bizarre and controversial topics such as cannibalism and lobotomy, studies philosophy and the human subconscious and psyche, with a significant inclusion of love and human emotions as an important factor in the entire journey.
