When lovely Madeira musician Ana (Emma Cohen) found a man she wanted to marry, her widowed father (Howard Vernon) couldn't bear the thought of her leaving... and hanged himself. Joining a band in Lisbon to get away from the trauma, she'd be tormented by visions of her parent in every mirror, hectoring her to kill anyone who'd want her-a call to which she'd ultimately succumb.
