A dark, atmospheric period horror film about supernatural retribution and collective guilt, where a curse born from atrocity transforms a community into a paranoid, nightmarish landscape.

In the late 19th century, a brutal land baron slaughters a Roma clan, unleashing a curse on his family and village. In the days that follow, the townspeople are plagued by nightmares, the baron's son goes missing, and a boy is found murdered. The locals suspect a wild animal, but a visiting pathologist warns of a more sinister presence lurking in the woods.
