A haunted village. A mother’s guilt. A dress for the dead.

For ten years, Roza has lived with the unbearable mystery of her daughter Anna’s disappearance, believing a mythical Giant took the child, said to haunt the village lake.

When the “Giant” is revealed to be nothing more than an ancient Wels catfish, the fragile boundary between myth and reality shatters, and something far more sinister awakens.

Then, on a storm-ridden night, Roza receives an impossible message from beyond the grave: Sew me a wedding dress.

Determined to fulfil her daughter’s final wish, Roza takes up her needle once more. But as the dress takes shape, so do dark forces, long-buried secrets, and a reckoning that threatens to consume her and everyone around her.

Some grief cannot be laid to rest.

Some stories refuse to stay buried.
