Abstract: Years after their parents had made a pledge that they would marry, a young couple meet and fall in love. The father of the young man had long before perished and the young woman's father, forgetting his vow, keeps the two apart. The film concerns unfulfilled love, broken promises, and the supernatural, as the persona of the youth enters his beloved's body and possesses her. Inspired by S. Anski's ethnographic research among Jews living in the Polish-Russian countryside just before WWI.
