OUTLINE

After laying flowers at the grave of a loved one, and sitting down on a nearby bench to read for them, M dozes off and wakes up to find that night has fallen. She rushes to get out of the cemetery but finds every entrance closed, and so she tries to climb over the gates but slips and painfully twists her ankle. With her phone dead, she decides to go looking for a security guard for help, and manages to locate the guard's cabin. She calls out and knocks on the door but gets no reply and so she decides to enter. Inside she finds a desk covered with old papers, some of which she notices are stained of a red liquid. They seem to cover something underneath which is bleeding into them, and, scared out of her life, she picks up the papers to find a half-eaten pomegranate. She relaxes, feeling silly and paranoid, and inspects the rest of the cabin to find an old VHS camera. A noise outside prompts her to use the camera's light as a torch and go check out what the noise was, but she sees nothing. Back inside, she opens drawers looking for a phone charger, and stumbles onto something that freezes her blood in her veins. In one of the drawers, there is a collection of strands of hair, each neatly placed next to one another, and each with its own label attached to it onto which is scribbled a date.  

From hoping that the guard might come back and help her, she now realizes he may pose an even greater threat and decides to take her chances back out in the woods. She rushes out and tries to put as much distance as possible between her and the cabin, using the VHS camera for light, until she sees, through the trees, someone walking with a flashlight in the distance. She turns off her light and lies down on the ground trying not to breathe. The figure approaches, scans the area with their flashlight, and almost gets a glimpse of bits of her hair sticking out of her hiding place, but they merge with the grass and surrounding bushes, and the figure walks away. 

M waits for them to be far enough and then continues crossing the woods as quietly as she can. At some point, she begins hearing noises around but cannot see anything. Then she begins seeing the faint echoes of dark figures circling around her but cannot see them clearly, so she decides to film them with the camera as to get a better look. But when she goes to watch back the footage, she rewinds the tape too far and ends up seeing what had been recorded on there before. In the images, she sees a woman get attacked and dragged into the woods and this freezes her in fear. As she stands there looking into the viewfinder, a flashlight suddenly appears in the distance, approaching her, and so she drops the camera and runs off for her life.

She reaches a clearing and sees a structure atop a hill where shadows dance in a warm light. She tries to climb up to them for help but they prove unreachable, and when the flashlight once again appears behind her chasing after her, she runs away and has nowhere else to hide but inside one of the family crypts of the cemetery.

The door closes behind her as she enters, and the floor collapses under her feet. She falls into an underground section of the crypt, and comes face to face with a sickly figure stretched out on a bed and covered with a thin veil. As she approaches, the figure begins breathing, in and out, in a huge cloud of dust which engulfs her and dizzies her vision. She finds herself in an abandoned basement where a creature bearing her face is trapped inside a cage and scares her off. Running away, she opens a set of curtains to find herself in the forest facing an old abandoned chapel, with a fire raging at its hearth and a group of dancers spinning around it as though performing some ritual. She feels strangely drawn to them and they welcome her in, undress and cleanse her, and then place a white gown on her body.

She follows them through the forest and they lead her to a stream where she washes her feet for the journey ahead. As the moon peers in the night sky and illuminates her face, she finds herself at the centre of a lake with her reflection looking back at her. There, on the surface of the lake, she performs the dance of her requiem, and then disappears into the water.

A television set inside the guard's cabin plays the footage from the camera, and we see her being filmed from afar, asleep on the bench, and then being grabbed and attacked. She had actually died there and then on the bench. Her every waking moment after that was her journey towards the other side.
