Page "The Guardian (1990 film)" Paragraph 2

At the lovely Sheridan home, parents Allan and Molly are packing for a trip, while their young son reads the story " Hansel and Gretel " to his baby sister.

Molly and Allan head out the door, leaving their two children in the care of their nanny, Diane.

Once alone and with the children sleeping, Diane tucks the son into bed, and then goes to the crib where the baby is sleeping, and takes the child.

In the car, Molly realizes she left her glasses at the house, and the couple return to the house.

Molly goes inside and gets her glasses from the bathroom.

On the way out, she stops by her children's room to check on them.

Seeing her son asleep in bed, she approaches the now empty crib, her eyes growing wide upon seeing it.

She then runs from the house screaming Allan's name as she pounds on the windshield of the car.

We then see a woman, draped in flowing gauze, wandering though the forest, carrying the baby wrapped in a blanket.

She approaches an giant, old, gnarled tree, and holds up the baby, which then disappears from her hands.

The roots of the tree show the baby's face, as it has been sacrificed to keep the tree alive.

As the woman sits on the ground near a pool of water, her reflection can be seen on the water's surface.

Suddenly her reflection disappears, leaving that of a growling wolf.
