XIX century. A young teacher , from New York, in rural area . In visit an one of her students. The tea offered by hostess . And a ritual who can return to life her son .
Sure, cruel, blind bigoticism. But the twist , explaining the hostility of villager, the auster attitude of woman, the intro and the story about bad year of missings , is just inspired, from the image of beast to the reaction of poor people.
Another good point - the round story , crafted with high care, in only five minutes. And, sure, the atmosphere, not ignoring the performances - the enthusiasm of young teacher , presumed naif , is well developed by Ashton Lott.
In short, good example of respect for rules of genre.
