But as the hot city summer ends and the days draw in, the violence and dark sensuality of the translation begin to escalate, invading her dreams and then some deeply unsettling things start to occur.
First it's just a missing CD, then music playing in an empty kitchen at midnight.... Is there someone or something in the house ? She changes the locks but it persists. Poltergeist? Angry Spirit?
