Summaries

A bridegroom is possessed by an unquiet spirit in the midst of his own wedding celebration, in this clever take on the Jewish legend of the dybbuk.

The story revolves around a Polish-English man who returns to Poland to get married to his prospective bride, who he only knows through the internet. He moves into her family's old family home. Shortly before the wedding, he digs up a skeleton while doing a little work around the property. At their wedding reception, he begins having hallucinations and visions of a woman in a bridal gown--the woman whose remains he just dug up and who soon possesses him. The family tries to distract the wedding guests while ushering Peter down to the cellar where a doctor and priest try to figure out what's happening to him. This gorgeously shot picture reminds us that the past is never really that far, and that when you marry into a family you're also tying yourself to their sins.
