Short description
Marie, a film producer, returns to her native Russia to find her birth parents. She quickly learns they are dead, and she has inherited their long-empty farmhouse. At the farm, she meets Nicolai, who claims to be her twin brother. Events take a terrifying turn when the two spot a pair of ghastly doppelgangers and the house itself seems to propel them toward a fate they should have met 40 years earlier.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film company wanted to cast a well-known actress in the role of Mary, and negotiations were held with Nastassja Kinski and Holly Hunter. Director Nacho Cerdà, however, insisted on a lesser-known actress, believing that this would make the character more relatable to the audience. Anastasia Hill was approved for the role after a casting call in London, and the film company did not dispute his choice.
