Synopsis
"... follows a woman beseeched by her ex-husband to go to Poland and deal with the arrangements for his father's funeral. Once there, she discovers the deceased man's surprising obsession—considering his life as a practical, science-based individual—with apparent folk remedies and spells. With a foolish arrogance borne of understandable disbelief, she partakes, and sends herself spiraling into visions and obsessions of her own." —Paul Michaels
