Like every summer, little Salomé returns to her family village nestled in the Portuguese mountains for the holidays.
As the vacations begin in a carefree atmosphere, her beloved grandmother suddenly dies.
While the adults are tearing each other apart over the funeral, Salomé is haunted by the spirit of the one who was considered a witch.
