English Summary/英文概要: Mick’s father manages a 17th-century house and grounds where a festival is held each year. This year, a woman comes to sell herbs and candles. When she helps Mick with his music, his friend Katie begins to realize that she is drawing him into the Otherworld.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 每年收穫節日的市集就會吸引音樂家和講故事的人彙集到米克父親所打理的一幢17世紀房子處。今年有一個女人來這裡販賣草藥和蠟燭 — 米克用他的音樂幫忙給這位女士助陣。他吹奏的長笛宛如神曲一般,令人如癡如醉。然而市集上卻發生了怪誕的事件。恐怖的氣氛頓時籠罩在節日的聚會上,米克的朋友凱蒂知道這個神秘的女人想要將米克帶入另一個永遠無法折回的世界。這是一部迷人的古代民間傳說:一位仙女引誘年輕人,進入到玉米王國的儀式,最終讓年輕人成為這個國度裡的祭品。(Sandy)
