In the movie, which premiered at the Cannes Festival, innocent play by a group of small children takes a sinister turn. The children, spending idle summer days in an Oslo suburb, find their hidden powers and play turns into a life-or-death struggle, right under the eyes of adults. Directed by Oscarnominated Eskil Vogt, The Innocents is a terrifying horror story about a child's imagination and its fearsome power. When working on the soundtrack, the Finnish composer Levanto had to ask himself if children have the capability for evil. Are they born with moral codes or do people develop a sense of right and wrong growing up? Levanto wanted to find tones to describe how the innocence of childhood vanishes as we grow up.
