The dark forest is the record of a long journey that connects two funerary rituals in Cuba: the state burial to say goodbye to the fallen in the Angolan war and a spiritist rite to welcome the spirits of the past that return to the world of the living. These events, captured by Cuban amateur documentaries filmed in 1987, intertwine to form the backbone of this film whose main reflections revolve around loss and oblivion.
