Photographer Charles Castle is numbed with grief following the death of his beautiful bride. He goes off to war, working in the trenches as a photographer. Following the war and still in grief, Charles is given some photographs purporting to be of fairies. His search for the truth leads him to Burkinwell, a seemingly peaceful village seething with secrets where he becomes drawn into a web of passion, romance, and violence.

OH, BLESS YOUR HEART! I have been looking for this for so long I had forgotten I was even still in search of it. One of my favorite off-the-radar endeavors which (IMAO) teeters on the edge of ridiculousness but manages to completely succeed, I always believe that it all actually DID happen, for about 5 minutes after each watch. It’s twin FAIRY TALE: A TRUE STORY (1997), released the same year and covering what is essentially the same story is not half bad either, but I feel this is the superior of the two. BRAVO, and Happy Holidays, Jon!
Thank you for this film Jon. A guilty pleasure for me
A great insightful film that is full of magical action! Thanks for the recommendation Mr. Bobby Hemmitt!
