Sinopsis
A woman decides to voodoo her cheating husband back into love, but instead invites a mysterious presence into her home, causing an unexpected butterfly effect.
Tam, a hardworking staff member at a wedding venue, finds out about her husband’s affair on Live TV. Instead of confronting him, she seeks to win back his love with the help of a powerful spell master. Tam’s daughter, Ha, disapproves of her mother’s way of handling her father’s affair but has stopped trying to reason with her. She just dreams of fleeing home for a brighter future abroad with her boyfriend. Meanwhile, a mysterious being known as the House Spirit lurks beneath their leaky and cracked ceiling, visible only to them.

Director's Biography
Biografi Sutradara
Dương Diệu Linh
Dương Diệu Linh is a Vietnamese filmmaker who takes a special interest in the unconventional depiction of sad, angsty and naggy middle-aged women. Her series of shorts, which seamlessly blend hyper-realistic, slice-of-life subject matters with magical realism elements deeply rooted in Southeast Asian mythology and superstitions, have been competing and winning awards at prestigious film festivals around the world.
Linh previously attended Berlinale Talents in 2020, the Asian Film Academy in 2016, the Locarno Summer Academy and the Bucheon Fantastic Film School in 2015. Her debut feature, "DON’T CRY, BUTTERFLY”, participated in Full Circle Lab, Less Is More, Locarno Open Doors Hub, Attagirl, and most recently Hong Kong-Asia Financing Forum (HAF) where it won both the Udine Focus Asia and Wouter Barendretch Award.
