Set in an isolated mountain village in 19th century Macedonia, You Won't Be Alone follows a young girl who is kidnapped and then transformed into a witch by an ancient spirit. Curious about life as a human, the young witch accidentally kills a peasant in the nearby village and then takes her victim's shape to live life in her skin. Her curiosity ignited, she continues to wield this horrific power in order to understand what it means to be human.

Oozing to the brim with trans undertones and imagery, this film does not shy away from exploring what it means to be, not just a person, but simply to inhabit a body, and the different ways one can choose to do this. This witchy time is the perfect beginning to the month of October!
