What happens in Innocence from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The film opens with a wash of fluid, forest, and shadowed hallways as a six-year-old named Iris is discovered inside a coffin placed in a dormitory’s common area. She is welcomed by six girls who share the house, dressed in a uniform that mirrors Iris’s own, while their hair is braided and ribbons are exchanged. Each ribbon marks a girl’s age and year at the school, and Iris instantly becomes the new, youngest holder of the red ribbon. This moment stirs tension with Selma, the former red ribbon who has become the orange ribbon and resents Iris’s arrival, especially since she laments the absence of Natashka, the oldest girl who wore a violet ribbon and is no longer present.
