Synopsis

The people of a small, remote country village are gathered for a simple country wedding.

The young bride is radiant, and the older people are pleased because she has brought a young man from town to join their community.

As time for the ceremony approaches, the conversation of the guests becomes ominous.

Panic seizes the young man as he faces all the strangers.

He realizes, in a moment of horror, just why the girl has led him to this isolated community.

An unusual and gripping piece, and with a stunning, terrifying climax!
