In Inowłódz, a small town in central Poland, a former synagogue has become a liquor store, and people keep drowning in a nearby pond. Waldek, an abstinent, believes the town is cursed. When another death occurs, he brings Dawid, a Polish Jew, to uncover the synagogue’s dark past. Blending observation, local legend and noir atmosphere, The Curse is a "documentary horror" about memory, addiction and guilt.
