Ten year-old Caroline follows her father, an Austrian director, onto the set of his latest film in a medieval castle. Something seems to keep going wrong with the special effects and Catherine suspects that someone is sabotaging the production. She decides to investigate the matter and soon discovers the guilty party - the ghosts of five nuns who were buried alive 500 years earlier... (Giffoni 2003)
