Synopsis :

Something is haunting Andrea, but no one, not even she herself, knows what it is. Twenty years ago, ten thousand kilometers away, the same presence terrorized Marie. Camila too experienced it, and was the only person who could understand what was happening, but no one believed her. All three encounter the same thing: a strange and terrifying wailing.


Directors Bio :

Madrid-based filmmaker Pedro studied cinematography before getting into directing. After graduating he moved quickly into big, award-winning commercials where he garnered attention for his unique visual style. The Wailing is his debut feature film.
