Résumé

A young governess is hired to care for two children at a remote country estate, where her duties quickly become clouded by fear. As she settles into the house, she starts to feel that something unnatural is present on the grounds, and her growing concern begins to affect how she interprets what she sees and hears. The children’s changing behavior, along with the appearance of troubling, mysterious elements, pushes her into a constant struggle to determine whether her perceptions are grounded in reality. Set as a gothic horror story, the account maintains a deliberate uncertainty about what lies behind the unease.
