Martin and the Magical Forest (2021)
Martin (or "Mazel") is addicted to his phone; nature and the forest are anathema to him. He has to go to a camp in the woods where phones are forbidden; he's never experienced anything like it. There’s a big camp game every team wants to win, but Mazel lacks the skills to win. One night, he discovers that the forest is full of mysterious magical creatures and the forest creatures need a few of Mazel's things in order stop the nearby miners and their test drillings. Helping Mazel, they turn him into an experienced woodsman, leading his team to victory. But it is not advisable to play too much with ancient forest creatures; water disappears from the forest, tensions with the miners grows, and people become suspicious of Mazel. An inconspicuous camp adventure leads to a finale where the fighting creatures of the forest stop hiding.
