Storyline
A caregiver travels to a remote village to look after a woman who lives in seclusion, obsessed with the idea that Na Sídhe, a fairy-like being from Irish mythology, abducted her on her wedding night. Highly acclaimed during its run at the Locarno Film Festival, this subtle but disturbing work combines the exhilarating imagery of pagan horror with a reflection on female trauma and the role of the church in rural communities.
