Unskilled Parisian Jean is surprised to be hired as the assistant to grieving photographer Stéphane. After falling in love with Marie, Stéphane’s daughter and muse, the two must hatch a plot to leave Stéphane’s haunted world behind them. From acclaimed master Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse) this is a classic ghost story with a creepy modern twist.

Whatever the opposite of jump-scare horror is, Kurosawa is a master of it. He specialises in what might be called the shadow-scare: rather than overwhelming his audience with sudden sensory barrages, he pares everything back, creating a haze of hyper-sensitised dread.
