Little girl killed at the end

I saw this movie in 2014 (I think) on a cable channel – I have no idea how old it is, but it seemed old.  It may have been foreign, but I don’t recall subtitles.

It was a dark and tragic film.  I remember a little girl (perhaps 12 or 13) had a very sad life until she placed some sort of plant under a bed (hers, her parents, I can’t remember) then things were better.  The plant involved blood of some sort, and had to remain there, lest her situation revert to the dismal existence.  This “idea” was given to her by some sort of spirit or fairy that she befriended in the woods who gave her hope/vision of a beautiful fantasy land where she belonged (as queen???)

I think the plant was discovered and destroyed (by the mother??) and, of course, things turned bad for the little girl/family.

Somewhere near the end, I recall the little girl running away for her life, but she was caught, by a male (her [step]father??) and I believe was fatally wounded with a knife.

At the end, she laid dying on a stone fence or table when her fairy friend appeared and (I think) took her to the enchanted after-life she had dreamed of.  Something like that.

It was a bittersweet film that I caught midway through.  I’d love to see it again, but cannot remember the name.  Help please.

  1. Wow, that’s it!
    That was far too quick. Thank you!
    I’ll have to come up with something a little harder next time.
