The film then cuts to the present day, and we are introduced to Silvia (Mimsy Farmer), a scientist working for an engineering firm. It quickly becomes apparent that Silvia is the girl from the photograph, and that she has severe problems in relation to both her mother and her father. Silvia is having terrible visions (even when she is awake), including one of an older woman who appears when Silvia is about to make love to her boyfriend, and also one of a young girl who is almost constantly at her side.
Silvia's hallucinations start to take a sinister turn, affecting her everyday behavior, and at times she turns violent towards her friends and neighbors. People she knows seem almost conspiratorial against her, and we are never quite sure if Silvia's descent into madness is being engineered by these people or whether it is just part of her mental illness. Throw into the mix witchdoctors, cannibalism, and a possible supernatural explanation, and you get a pretty heady brew at times. Events spiral out of control towards a truly shocking climax, before which we find out that the events that have transpired could be related to an incident involving Silvia's mother that happened in Silvia's childhood.
