Stacey and Mark, deeply in love, live on an isolated South African farm. Their home soon turns into a disquieting mansion, as nightmarish presences haunt Stacey. She begins experiencing a frightening dimension in which reality and imagination merge. An elegantly staged ghost story which keeps the Italian tradition of genre cinema alive.

His family name is a landmark in the history of cinema: his father Mario is the creator of Italian gothic genre; his grandfather Eugenio, an artist and a sculptor, worked as a cinematographer with Giovanni Pastrone (Cabiria) and with the Lumière brothers; Lamberto's son, Roy, is an esteemed assistant director and contributed to The Card Player by Dario Argento. The great tradition of Italian horror cinema begins with Mario Bava's Black Sunday and ends with Demons, shot by Lamberto. Considered as the inventor of the "new postmodern horror" genre, he also made a stand in the history of television with innovative productions such as Fantaghirò.
