An exciting and soul-stirring mystical thriller set against the backdrop of the Russian countryside, with elements of psychological horror and detective fiction.
The story takes place in an abandoned village, where every place is infused with secrets and traces of dark rituals.
A young girl, who has come to the forgotten village to care for her ailing grandfather, uncovers a long-standing mystery about the local legend of The Weeping.
Varvara arrives in the countryside, in the abandoned village of Mirny, to take care of her sick grandfather, but instead of a peaceful rural life, she is plunged into a whirlwind of terrifying secrets. The house holds traces of dark rituals, and the locals seem to know much more than they let on. A chance discovery of an old doll and mysterious letters sets off a chain of inexplicable events. Soon, Varvara encounters The Weeping—a vengeful ghost, who, according to locals, terrorizes them. It seems Varvara is in for something more sinister than folk tales. Now the girl is forced to confront the shadows of the past that threaten her very life. Can she uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim of this sinister place?
