Set in the mountains of Northern Sweden, The Nix is a nightmarish fable about a family of three women, Frida, Freja, and Flora, their struggle for survival in the year of famine, 1868, and encounters with the unknown.

Assembled entirely within a game engine, the film explores the medium of video games by blurring digital and physical reality, as a woman guides her avatar across a mysterious land, confronting a shadow deep in the woods.
