SYNOPSIS

Hanna (35) flies to Poland from Silicon Valley with Jesse (30), an American of Polish-Jewish descent. The couple finds an old ring belonging to her grandmother and plans to get engaged. Thanks to an AI-powered app Hanna is developing, her grandparents "come to life" on video from old photos. Jesse objects to the experiment, while disturbing things happen to him at his grandmother's house. But Hanna dismisses his concerns. Only when the digital ghosts get out of control and his grandmother demands he get rid of the ring does Hanna realize that Jesse is in danger. To save him and avoid repeating the family's mistakes, she will have to dismantle the myth of heroic and loving grandparents.
