Right before Christmas, strange things start happening at the widow’s house, who was married to a local organist. Muddy footprints left in the house, mysterious shadows and strange sounds make Bogusia increasingly believe that they could be signs from her tragically deceased husband. She experiences paranormal phenomena that intensify her unresolved grief.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director and screenwriter Bartosz Brzeziński.
