Story
An ageing butcher, Franciszek, finds out from a doctor that his mother is on the verge of death. Unable to watch over her, he hires a village wise-woman, Palchowa, to tend to his Mother in her last moments. But the job turns out to be harder than they could ever suspect…
Logline: When you crawl into the shadow of death to dig up the mysteries of the past you can bet your life there will be the devil to pay.
