[Solved] Looking for short film about a girl who plays with her puppet in a cave

I think I've seen this short controversial film mentioned before somewhere on this forum, but I can't find the name of the film anymore.
My memory is very rusty, I have seen it many years ago, but here is the story as I remember it:
- A girl has an alcoholic mother (and/or father?) who is (violently?) abusing her at home, and she decides to run away
- She runs to a cave (in a jungle?) where she reenacts the abuse she experienced at home with her puppet
- The ending is a bit ambiguous, but it is hinted that she commits suicide (by jumping off a cliff? Or in front of a train? I don't remember)
I think it was an Eastern European (Yugoslavian?) movie, but there are no jungles in Eastern Europe... perhaps it was from South America?
Any hints would be very much appreciated.
