The deadman's Bride / fiction / feature film : 100 minutes / teaser : 1'34 / Cornel GHEORGHITA
A French filmmakers crew set up shop in a small Carpathian Romanian village inn to film a documentary trilogy about the survival of pagan traditions related to baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
In his studio in Toulouse, a photographer named Martin discovers the demeanour of the beautiful Romanian girl Irina, while reviewing some rushes sent to him by his director friend Jacques, whose filming has been disturbed. A stranger to the Romanian world of rituals and superstitions, nevertheless Martin agrees to join and help out his director friend whose cameraman has fallen ill.
If the shooting of the first two subjects is managed without too much difficulty, it is not so for the last one: nobody dies in the area for them to film a funeral. The team chooses to stage a funeral, dragging the superstitious villagers into a macabre game.
