"Binding refers to a psychic condition of impediment or inhibition

and a sense of domination as performed by a powerful malign influence

which affects a person's autonomy and capacity to decide and choose."

Commonly known as the evil eye, it is carried out through magic rituals

that establish THE BINDING between victim and perpetrator.

These practices have long been rooted in the South of Italy.

[birds singing]

["Danse Macabre" playing on radio]

[whispering] Sofia.

[volume increases]

-[gasps] What the fuck are you doing? -Mom, you said a bad word.

-Shame on you! -[both laugh]

-I'll have my revenge. -[Sofia giggles]

Come on, honey. Sit back.

["Danse Macabre" continues playing]

What is it?

No, it's just you haven't stopped since we got on the road.

You haven't looked outside once.

[pen clatters]

[man] When I was a boy, I'd get lost in these fields.

[woman] I've never seen you as a boy.

Yeah, don't tell my mother,

or you'll see every picture from kindergarten to conservatory.

-Now I really want to see them all. -No.

-All of them. -Don't joke. She might make me.

I'll likely have to play the old scores. She's got 'em all preserved as keepsakes.

She's old-fashioned that way.

You'll be fine.

-You should have talked to her first. -[man] No.

A surprise.

[dog barks]

[car approaching]

-[man chuckles] Hey! Hello! -[dog barks]

-Oh, what's his name? -[man] Tito.

Hi, Tito.

-Does he bite? -No, it's okay.

-But he stinks, so watch out. -[Sofia] Tito! Tito!

-[Tito continues barking] -[Sofia giggling] Tito! Come here!

-[man grunts] -[trunk door squeaks]

I wasn't expecting a mansion.

[man] She should move to the village instead of being here all alone.

-[woman 2] Teresa's not alone. -Hi, Sabrina!

[Sabrina chuckles softly]

-This is Emma. -Emma, it's a pleasure.

And this is Sofia.

-[Sabrina] Welcome. -Thank you.

-[Sabrina] Do you need help? -[man] I can manage this.

[rooster crows]

-[Sofia] I'll take mine. -[man] All right.

-[Sabrina] This way. -[man] Let's go.

[Sabrina] How are you?

[man] A bit tired, but it's been a nice trip.

-[gasps] This is beautiful! -See?

[quietly] Don't touch. Sofia!

I prepared the rooms for you upstairs.

[man] Thank you, Sabrina.

-Yeah, that's me. -[Emma laughs]

Why, I'm so glad I met you without the mustache.

[Sofia] I like you like that. Is that your mom?

Yeah, a few years ago.

-Where is she, by the way? -She'll be here in a moment.

-If you need anything, I'm in the kitchen. -[Emma] Thank you.

-This way. Let's go. -Hey. We'll check 'em out later.

[baby continues crying]

-[door slams] -[baby wails]

Sofia?

Come on.

-Is that too heavy? -Uh, no, no.

I'm sleeping here, and you're there.

Uh, yeah. It's, uh, like, traditional.

We're not married, we can't sleep together.

-Really? -[man] Yeah. It's just how it is here.

It would be offensive. It's like…

-[inhales sharply] -But I want to sleep on my own.

[sighs] You can't. I'm sorry, but that's just how it is here.

We're not married, so we gotta sleep in separate rooms.

[Emma laughs]

[Emma and man kiss]

[gasps, whispering] Mom, look.

[cawing continues]

[caws loudly]

[baby crying]

[Sofia] What are they doing?

I don't know, love. It's none of our business, though.

[man] Ah! There you are. [sighs]

Hey, Mom?

[baby continues crying]

-[son] Come on. -[crows cawing]

[mom] Who is this girl?

-[son] Sofia. -[mom] Hello, Sofia.

-You settled in already? -[son] Yeah, upstairs.

-This is Emma. -[mom sighs]

Sorry for the welcome. I had to take care of a few things.

It's a real pleasure to meet you, Teresa.

At last my son managed to bring you here.

He's gotta have something important to say. Right, Sofia?

You've got beautiful eyes.

[son chuckles]

[Emma] This house is magnificent.

[Teresa] Ah, thank you. It's all I've got left.

It took a lot of sacrifices to get it all done.

-[Emma] You must have a lot to do here. -Speaking of which, how's it goin'?

You know, it's complicated.

[son] Get someone to help.

We've always managed just fine on our own. Somehow, we'll figure it out.

[Sofia] Can we go for a walk?

[Emma] Of course.

Don't go too far away, Sofia. It's not difficult to lose your way.

The guests will arrive soon. I've gotta get back into the kitchen.

-Why? Who'd you invite? -[Teresa] The usual crowd.

They wanted to see you. It's been so long.

[son chuckles]

Hey, Mom. I'll come with you. I need to tell you something.

-Um, see ya. -[Emma] Yeah.

-Yeah, Mom. Come on. -Eh.

[Sofia and Emma chuckle]

[both laugh]

-[indistinct chatter in distance] -[birds singing]

[all chatting indistinctly]

They're a nice couple, right? Good to see them together.

[guest 1] So nice to see you again.

[guests continue chatting indistinctly]

[reciting prayer in regional Italian]

[others join in prayer]

[Teresa exhales]

What was that?

[Teresa] That was an old prayer from these parts.

It's meant to protect this family

as well as those about to become a part of it.

[guests continue chatting indistinctly]

My son's getting married.

Oh! Congratulations!

-Thank you. -[guest 2 chuckles]

-All right. Let's make a toast. Hmm? -[Emma and guest 2] Yes.

-[son] Cheers! -[all] Cheers!

[woman] Was your daughter born in Italy?

[Emma] No, I moved here when she was a year old.

-[woman] What do you do? -[Emma] I'm a construction engineer.

-[man] Oh, you work in Milan? Rome? -[Emma] Mostly abroad.

[woman] And what do you do with her?

[Emma] If it's a long trip, she comes with us.

[Teresa] Doesn't it bother you, being away from home?

-I'm used to it by now. -And how about her?

-Stability's important for a girl her age. -Are we done with the Spanish Inquisition?

By the way, will it be a church or a civil ceremony?

Have you chosen a date already?

Maybe we'll get married here. It's so beautiful.

-[son] Seriously? -Yeah. Let's have it here! [gasps]

-Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to, Mom. Sorry. -[Emma] Don't worry.

[faucet running]

Hey.

I can't get it out.

Yeah.

[Emma sighs]

[scrubbing] Everything okay?

[Emma] Mm-hmm.

[continues scrubbing]

[Emma takes a deep breath]

Never seen you pray before.

-[son chuckles] -[Emma] Hmm.

[takes a deep breath] It's for my mother.

She even invited the priest.

[both laugh]

-[Sofia] Come here. Come here. Come here. -[Tito barking]

[Tito whimpers]

Come here. Come here. Come here. Tito, come here.

Hmm? Huh?

Look! Look!

Want it? Go fetch!

Tito. Tito! Wait, Tito!

-What are you doing? Huh? Huh? -[screams, giggling]

[son] Huh?

-[all chuckle] -[Sofia sighs] Tito ran away.

-Mom, did you see how big this tree is? -I see.

It's over 1,000 years old.

[wind whistling]

[Sofia] But why have those trees been dug up like that?

[son] Ah, well, because they're sick.

But I'll tell you a secret. My mother knows a way to cure them.

-[Sofia] Really? -[son] Mm-hmm.

[Sofia] Like a kind of magic?

[son] That's right.

Like magic.

-[Sofia giggles] -[son chuckles] Don't tell anyone.

-[Teresa] He's good with Sofia. -[chuckles softly] She adores him.

I even get a bit jealous.

You're lucky to have found a father for her.

Sofia already has a father.

[Teresa] Of course. I apologize.

-What made you want to get a divorce? -[thunder rumbles]

We were much too young.

When Sofia was born, it was already over. We're pretty good friends, though, now.

It can't be easy with a job like yours.

A lot of folks would pay to be where I am.

-And Francesco loves traveling. -Hmm. He's been that way forever.

[Emma] Brahms's "Quintet for Piano and Strings."

That's how I met him.

A chamber concert.

He was extraordinary.

But he doesn't feel comfortable on big stages.

[Teresa] He could always try again.

[song concludes]

-[Sofia giggles] -[Francesco] Bravo!

Hey, Mom. Did you hear? I played it all.

It was fantastic, sweetie.

-[Francesco] And how did you get so good? -Because I have a great teacher.

[Francesco chuckles]

Don't be jealous of them.

The bond with a mother is unbreakable.

[thunder rumbles]

[Francesco] It went well.

You did well.

You even survived the interrogations from my relatives.

Your mother doesn't let her guard down much.

-[earring clatters] -No. I know her.

She's happy for us.

And are you happy?

[chuckles slightly] What do you think? Hmm?

I like the idea of getting married here.

Where you grew up.

-We'll give it some thought. -[both breathing heavily]

[both moaning and panting]

-[Francesco] I love you. -[moans]

-[Emma gasps, panting] -What?

-[Francesco] What is it? -Someone was spying on us.

-[Francesco] Who? -Sabrina.

Oh, come on.

-I thought I saw her. -[Francesco] That's impossible. Come on.

Darling, this is an old house. It's full of drafts.

You must have heard a noise and got scared.

Everything's all right.

[Emma] But why is her arm covered in scars?

[sighs] Look, Sabrina's had some problems,

and my mother began looking after her.

She helped her. They're very close.

[Emma panting]

Honey?

[Sofia crying]

[Emma] What happened?

-[Francesco] Uh… -[Emma] Hmm?

[Sofia] I don't know. It hurts.

-Huh? Show me. -[Sofia] Okay.

[sobbing]

[stomps]

-[Sofia sniffles] -[Francesco] It's nothing serious.

Don't you worry.

-Soon it'll be okay. -Everything okay?

Yeah. Uh, she got bitten.

-[Sofia continues crying] -Shouldn't we take her to the hospital?

[Teresa] Let me see.

No, no. We'll put something on it for now. It'll be fine.

Sofia, do you remember what I told you about the trees?

Huh? My mother knows how to do it with people, too.

-[Emma] What is that? -It's just some medical herbs.

An old remedy that relieves the pain and disinfects the wound.

-[Sofia] Ow. -[Teresa] I know it burns,

but you're strong, aren't you?

Hmm.

That's it. You were very good.

[Sofia sobs quietly]

Will you stay here with me?

Of course.

[sobs]

[cell phone ringing and vibrating]

[birds singing]

[ringing stops]

[knocking in distance]

[Teresa] Keep this with you.

It will protect you.

[chuckles softly]

[group speaking indistinctly]

-Good morning, Emma. -Morning.

It must have been scary last night.

A bit.

[Teresa] Unfortunately, these things happen here.

What's important is that Sofia's all right.

[distant thud]

[tense music plays]

[contents rattle]

[rustling]

[Emma] Where's Francesco?

[Teresa] He just went to the village. He didn't want to wake you.

He had to help his uncle with a piano.

Good morning.

-Hi, Emma. -[Emma] Hi.

Excuse us, Emma. I'll see you in a bit.

[teacup clatters]

[footsteps approaching]

[Emma] Hey.

Does it still hurt?

[Sofia] No.

And what is that?

You can't touch it.

[cell phone ringing]

[tense instrumental music playing]

[crow cawing]

[rustling]

[Sofia] What are you doing?

[Teresa] I'm trying to cure it.

[Sofia] How?

Come here.

Look.

It's been wounded, see?

[Sofia] It looks like it's crying.

That's true.

But I think we can save it.

Can you teach me?

[Teresa] Of course. Put your hand over here.

…the structures to the main building. Oh, hold on.

Let me write that down.

[Sabrina speaking indistinctly]

-[Sofia chuckles] -[Sabrina reciting prayer]

[Teresa and Sabrina reciting prayer]

[ominous instrumental music playing]

What are you doing?

Are you all right, sweetie?

-[sniffs] What is it? -[Teresa] To heal her wound.

It's a natural remedy. I made it myself. You don't have to worry.

[door slams]

-[Sofia] Mom-- -[Emma] Quiet.

-[Sofia] Leave me alone. -[Emma] Quiet!

-[Sofia] You're hurting me! -[crows cawing]

[Emma] All right, what did she do to you?

-[Sofia] She wanted to cure me. -[Emma] What?

-[Sofia] Like the trees. -You can't believe everything you're told.

-She's the mother of Francesco! -It doesn't matter.

You have to ask me.

Sofia, wait!

[Tito barking]

What's going on?

[sighs] Your mother was doing something strange to Sofia.

Like what?

I don't know. They gave her something to drink.

Her concoctions are usually just herbs.

-I had them all the time. -I'm not gonna let other people touch her.

Come down, okay? I'll go speak to her.

[crows cawing]

[Emma exhales, kisses]

[leaves rustling]

[dramatic orchestral music playing]

Come.

[Emma] Sorry for earlier.

I didn't mean to get angry at you. I was just scared.

Are you tired?

[quietly] Yes.

[Emma sighs]

[Sofia scratching]

[knock at door]

[Emma] Teresa?

[clock ticking]

[door clicks, creaks]

[suspenseful music]

[Teresa] Looking for something?

You, actually. What were you doing to my daughter?

You're getting too worked up, dear. I do this all the time.

I know exactly what I'm doing. People seek me out.

And what are they looking for?

This stuff?

Some things are beyond comprehension.

[Emma] Like what? What can't I comprehend?

Tomorrow morning, we're going home.

[Francesco] Why do you still keep this?

Mom?

FRANCESCO AND ADA ANNOUNCE THEIR WEDDING, 27 JULY 1980

[crickets chirping]

[faucet running]

[Francesco and Teresa whispering]

[Francesco, quietly] You know what I'm telling you. Okay?

No.

I'm going to sleep now. Good night.

-How's Sofia? -Fine.

If she's hungry, Sabrina can bring something to her room.

No need for that. She's down for the night.

Be up in a sec.

Take your time. I'm sleeping with Sofia.

[scratching]

[light switch clicks]

Sofia?

Sofia, what's wrong?

Hey.

Hey, wake up.

[screams]

[panting]

Sofia. Sofia!

-What's going on? -[Emma] Don't know.

She was hurting herself in her sleep.

I've never seen her act this way.

She's hot. Let's get her back to bed.

Come on, sweetie. Come on.

[grunts]

-[Emma gasps] -[Francesco] It's gotten worse.

She needs a doctor. [sighs]

Hi, Emma. You didn't need to come here.

One phone call, and we'd have been there immediately.

Let's go. The doctor's waiting for us.

Did she have nausea, muscle spasms, or difficulty breathing?

No.

Has she ever had any other episodes of sleepwalking?

[Emma] Uh-uh.

[doctor] A tarantula's venom is even weaker than a beesting.

They're usually disposed of by the body in a matter of a few days.

The wound is following its natural course.

So why is she like that?

It could be an allergy.

It could be a weak immune response as well.

It happens. [sighs]

Hmm. Her temperature is going down.

[Francesco sighs]

[doctor] She just needs to rest.

A simple fever reducer should do the trick.

And these drops to be applied twice a day.

All right, Sofia?

Tomorrow, I'll come see you.

-[Francesco] Thank you, Doctor. -[doctor] Don't you worry.

[Sabrina reciting prayer]

I wanna take her back home.

[Francesco] Let's wait for the fever to drop.

[Emma] And what if it gets worse?

Let's maybe wait till the medicine kicks in.

I won't give that stuff to my daughter.

[Francesco] Emma, you're overreacting. You heard what the doctor said.

[Sabrina whispers prayer]

[Sofia groans]

-[Emma] Sofia. -[Sofia wheezing]

Sofia.

What is it? What's going on?

[Sabrina whispers prayer]

[Sofia gasping for breath]

[Sofia's breathing slows]

-[parking brake clicks] -[engine stops]

Please don't let her touch her. Sofia will just get agitated.

Yeah, that's fine.

How is she?

[Francesco] She's better.

[Teresa and Francesco speaking indistinctly]

Mom.

[Emma sighs softly]

I'm here, baby.

Help me, Mom. Please. [gasps]

As soon as you're better, we will go back.

I promise.

[Francesco and Teresa speaking indistinctly]

[Francesco] No.

[Teresa] How many times have you been bitten by a tarantula?

[Francesco] Plenty.

-[Teresa] How many? -[Francesco] I don't know.

[Teresa continues speaking indistinctly]

[Sofia grunts softly]

[Francesco] Wait.

-Emma. -[Emma] What?

We need to talk to you.

[Emma takes a deep breath]

[sighs] What she has is no simple fever.

The medicines won't do anything.

What are you saying?

[Sofia groans softly, sighs]

[rattling]

[rattling grows louder]

She's defenseless now, Emma.

Her body isn't in her control anymore.

[Francesco] Listen to her, please, Emma.

Sofia…

has been bound.

What?

Someone's cursed her.

[Sofia gasps and coughs]

[furniture rattling]

-You've lost your minds. -[Francesco] Emma!

Wait! You have to trust her.

My mother knows what she's doing. You have to trust her.

-[Emma] We have to get away from here now! -No!

[coughing and gasping]

[door slams]

[Francesco] Emma!

Sofia!

-[Sofia gasping] -[Francesco] Sofia!

-Open the door! -[Emma] Sofia, open up!

[banging on door]

-[Francesco] Sofia! -[continues gasping]

Open up!

-Sofia! -[Emma] Sofia!

[Sofia gasping]

[coughs]

[gasps and chokes]

[sobs]

-[banging on door] -[Emma] Sofia!

[Sofia moans]

-[Francesco exhales] -[Emma gasps]

[Sofia groaning]

-[Francesco] Oh, God! -[Sofia panting]

-[Francesco] Sofia… -[Sofia breathing heavily]

What is that?

What have you done to her?

[breathing shakily] Answer me!

[ominous music playing]

-[branches creak] -[whispering voice echoes]

[snaps]

It's her.

[Sofia continues panting]

She's returned.

[Francesco breathing shakily]

[ominous music swells]

[music fades]

[keys jingle]

[Francesco] Emma, there's something I never told you.

When I was still living here… there was a girl who worked for us, Ada.

[takes a deep breath]

We fell for one another.

I was a boy then.

And she got pregnant.

We were meant to get married, but…

all of a sudden, she fell ill.

I asked my mother to cure her,

to help her…

but she couldn't.

She lost the baby.

And she, uh…

she broke down and went mad with grief.

We did what we could to calm her, but…

[sighs]

…she just disappeared…

and then she was never seen again.

What's this got to do with Sofia?

When the tarantula bit Sofia,

Ada created a binding with her.

She only has to complete the binding, then she'll come and take her.

But why? What's she want with her?

Sofia is like a daughter to Francesco.

And that's all Ada ever wanted.

A daughter.

-[Francesco] We're telling you the truth. -We want to keep Sofia safe.

[Emma sighs]

How do we save her?

I know how to sever the binding, but we need to hurry.

No one's gonna hurt her.

Emma! Emma, no!

-[Teresa] Emma! -[Francesco] Emma, open up!

Emma, I beg you!

-[Teresa] Emma! -[Francesco] Emma!

Emma!

-[Teresa] Open the door! -[Francesco shouting] Listen to me! Emma!

[Teresa] Open the door, Emma!

-[Emma panting] -[Francesco] Emma, open!

-[Teresa] Emma! -[Francesco] Emma!

[tense instrumental music playing]

[panting] Here.

Here.

[grunts]

[engine splutters]

Fuck!

-[engine starts] -[Emma gasps]

She'll take her.

-[panting] -Look at what she did to me.

[engine revs]

[tense instrumental music continues playing]

[Sofia gasping and groaning]

[Emma] Sofia?

[Sofia continues groaning]

[groaning grows louder]

Sofia? Sofia?

-[shrieks] -[tires screech]

-[crashes] -[Emma screams]

[Emma breathing heavily]

[groans softly]

[crickets chirping]

[winces]

[continues groaning] Honey…

[door squeaks]

[Emma grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[exhales]

Sofia?

Sofia?

Sofia? [breathing shakily]

[crying] Sofia!

[screaming] Sofia!

[sobs] Sofia!

[panting]

[engine stops]

[door closes]

-[Francesco] Where's Sofia? -[Emma] I saw her.

-Where is Sofia? -[sobbing]

She took her. I saw her.

-[sobbing] Sofia. -[Francesco] Oh.

-Calm down. -[Emma continues sobbing]

-[sighs] -[Francesco grunts] Come on.

[Emma grunts]

[groans]

-[Sabrina] Wait. Wait. Don't move. -[groans]

[Sabrina] Don't move.

-I have to find Sofia! -[Sabrina] Calm down.

-Calm down. Calm down, Emma. -[gasps] Where is she? Where is she?

-[sobbing] -Calm down.

It's my fault.

-It's not your fault, Emma. Emma. -[Emma whines]

Francesco went looking for her.

[suspenseful instrumental music playing]

-[wind whistling] -[chiming]

[ominous music playing]

[wind howling]

[eerie music playing]

Listen to me.

At first, I couldn't comprehend it.

[sighs] It wasn't a simple binding.

[takes a deep breath]

Ada had been touched by something powerful and malevolent.

[woman groans, screams]

[voice distorting, moaning]

[rapid violin music playing]

[moaning grows louder]

[violin music swells, fades]

[woman rasping]

[voice returns to normal, sobbing]

[woman's joints cracking]

[raspy breathing]

[Sabrina] Ada?

[breathing shakily]

[Sabrina gasps] Ada?

-[Ada snarls] -[Sabrina screams]

[Ada continues snarling]

[Teresa takes a deep breath]

I'd never seen anything like it.

[sighs] I did everything in my power that night to save her mind.

But she ran away.

And nobody ever managed to find her.

[Emma sighs]

But then when she felt your presence here, she reawakened.

Whatever happened to her?

[tense violin music playing]

[Teresa sighs]

The baby wasn't lost by Ada because of some illness.

[moans and cries]

[Teresa] Something had happened to her.

[Ada moans loudly]

-[crying] And Francesco was responsible. -[high-pitched ringing]

[Teresa] When Ada became pregnant, Francesco wasn't ready to become a father.

He was just a kid with his whole life ahead of him.

He tried to get her to change her mind, to think about it, but…

Ada put her foot down. She wanted that child, no matter the cost.

[sniffles]

So then, my son…

he made a terrible mistake, the worst of his life.

He tried a ritual,

in secret.

One to make her lose the baby.

He just wanted everything to be as it was,

but he didn't know how to do it. [sighs]

He didn't have the skill to call on those forces, to control them.

[high-pitched ringing]

[inhales sharply] I tried to cure her, to reverse it,

but by then, it was already too late.

I had a duty to protect my son.

[sniffles]

Same as I tried to protect Sofia.

-What do we have to do to find her? -[Teresa sighs]

There is a way.

A unification ceremony, but it's dangerous.

[sighs] The binding with Sofia nourishes Ada.

And every moment that goes by, she becomes more powerful.

You could end up bound to her too.

It doesn't matter.

I have to find my daughter.

[Ada breathing shakily]

I did all of this for us, you know?

So, you forgave me?

Ada…

[Ada] It's just the three of us.

-[Emma] Just like this? -[Sofia gasping]

I need to purify the blood before cutting the bind.

[Emma breathing shakily]

[Emma] Okay.

I've gotta take some of her blood and mix it with yours.

It's the only way to bind her to you again.
