The Village from 2004 asks the question, can a perfect world really exists? We follow the characters of an idyllic, small village living a harmonious life as they go about their daily routines and rituals. The only thing that cast a shadow on the utopia are monsters lurking in the woods. After the lovely Ivy becomes engaged to Luscius, tragedy strikes their village. A jealous, developmentally delayed Noah stabs Luscius and Ivy must brave the woods and a monster to obtain medicine in order to save Luscius and bring peace back to their town.
