The Cuckoo's Curse

Marc and Ana will have a different vacation this year. Few months before Anna gives birth, she thinks that the couple needs to relax. So they exchanged their house with two elderly Germans, Olga and Hans, whom she has met through a home exchange website. Marc initially doesn't want to, but ends up agreeing. Although they are not going through the best moment in the relationship, the pregnancy makes the situation even more tense. In addition, it is added that Hans and Olga's house in a town in Selva Negro is luxurious and out of their reach.

Little by little the idyllic place will become more dangerous. With secret doors and folkloric parties hosted by Hans and Olga's daughter where witches are worshiped. After an accident, Marc changes his attitude. He now begins to take more care of Anna and the baby, something that begins to worry his partner. Anna feels that he dis not Marc anymore.

On the other hand, the German couple abandons that vision of an affable couple as soon as they enter Marc and Anna's house. They take over the house after searching everything from top to bottom. They rummage through all of Marc and Anna's belongings, including their photographs. They analyze the behavior of the young couple to prepare a disturbing ritual.

Film directed by Mar Targarona, with a script by Alfred Pérez Fargas and Roger Danès. 'The Cuckoo's Curse' stars Belén Cuesta and Jorge Suquet.
