The film was shot in English and Serbian and it is the directorial feature debut for Branko Tomović, the versatile German and European actor of Serbian descent.

    After witnessing a crime in London and looking for a place to hide for a while, Arnaut is offered a job by a charming yet ruthless local woman, to look after a cemetery in a small remote village in Serbia. He soon starts to have nightmarish visions and is frequently visited by a mysterious older woman, Baba Draga, who guides Arnaut into the darkness. Only the village priest seems to be trying to keep him safe from the sinister intentions of the villagers.
