Newly arrived from England to marry his fiancée Zaneta, Peter has been given a gift of her family’s ramshackle country house in rural Poland. It’s a total fixer-upper, and while inspecting the premises on the eve of the wedding, he falls into a pile of human remains. The ceremony proceeds, but strange things begin to happen… During the wild reception, Peter begins to come undone, and dybbuk an ancient spirit from Jewish folklore intrudes on this very present-day situation. For a very particular reason, as it turns out… The final work by Marcin Wrona, who passed away just as Demon was set to premiere in Poland, is an eerie, richly atmospheric film – part absurdist comedy, part love story – that scares, amuses, and charms in equal measure.

2015, Poland/Israel, English, Polish, and Yiddish with English subtitles, 94 minutes
