The Abandoned Page #3

Synopsis: In 1966, somewhere in Russia, a wounded woman drives a truck to an isolated farm with two babies. Forty years later, the film producer Marie Jones leaves her daughter in California and travels back to her home land in the wilderness of Russia. Marie is one of the children and had received a phone call from the notary public Andrei Misharin, who told her where the farm of her family is located. Marie arrives at the abandoned house and meets the stranger Nicolai, who tells her that he had also received a call from Misharin and he is her twin brother. Weird things happen in the house and Marie and Nicolai are haunted by zombie-like ghosts of themselves. Further, they find that they are trapped in the house and can not leave the place.

- I've been waiting for you for so long.

Shut up!

Whatever happens to them happens to us.

Welcome to the family.

My mother never told me

about her parents.

When she left for Russia,

I knew in my heart

I would never see her again.

It's been a long time since she left,

but I will never go after her,

never try to find out what became

of her or her parents.

It's better that way.

Better not to know,

better still to forget,

best of all,

to be abandoned.
