Vstrecha s tainstvennoy staruhoy v tyomnom lesu stanovitsya dlya geroini provodnikom mezhdu strahom i nadezhdoy. Est vstrechi, kotorye kazhutsya sluchaynostyu, no menyayut vsyu zhizn. Kogda mir stanovitsya chuzhim i vrazhdebnym, a buduschee teryaetsya sredi derevev i teney, geroine ostayotsya lish doveritsya tainstvennoy neznakomke, kotoruyu mnogie sochli by strashnoy i opasnoy. Tyomnyy les stanovitsya mestom ispytaniy, a zagadochnaya staruha okazyvaetsya provodnikom mezhdu strahom i nadezhdoy, mezhdu tem, chto kazhetsya pravdoy, i tem, chto eyu yavlyaetsya na samom dele. «Lesnaya staruha» - eto ne tolko volshebnaya istoriya, no i mudraya pritcha o chelovecheskih suzhdeniyah. O tom, kak legko prinyat neznakomoe za opasnoe, a neobychnoe - za zloe. I o tom, kak chasto istina skryvaetsya imenno tam, kuda nas ne puskayut sobstvennye strahi.
