Plot:
Emma wants to learn how to communicate with the spirit of a little girl who has spent centuries trapped inside a chapel and so she tries to convince Carol, a sceptical and fake medium, to help her.
Contacting the spirit will help her to remain close to her sick mother once she dies.
What Carol doesn’t suspect is that Emma really does have “the gift” and, if she keeps on trying to use it without her help, she will be putting her young life at risk…
Release:
The Chapel will have its world premiere at the Sitges Festival in Spain which runs from October 5, 2023.
