As the summer is coming to an end, teenager Léa needs to breathe but her brother's mechanical heart constantly reminds her that life hangs by a thread.

Connected by a slow, poetic pace and a lush forest backdrop, Jarvik and Stories from the Chestnut Woods share tales of survival set in two different centuries and two very different worlds.
