Plots(1)

The film is based on an important work of the world's literature, the first so-called gothic novel by Horacio Walpole. The story is narrated in an ironic quasi-documentary form as a reconstruction of a real event that happened many years ago. The film is dedicated to all researchers that based their lives on mystification. (official distributor synopsis)
