Nina (Naama Kates) a singer less polished than Emma Stone, leaves the US after the death of her mother to live with relatives in Eastern Europe who she barely knows, working as a librarian, checking out Harry Potter books. She is into Giordano Bruno, 16th century pseudo-scientist/scientist and we get a heavy first person narration from Nina, reminding me of bad Rod McKuen poetry readings my ex-girlfriend used to drag me to and I had to pretend to be inspired. She meets Katya (Oona Airola) moves out of her aunt's place and PLOT SPOILER, later moves back in. Nina imagines herself a sorceress, connected to her mother through the blood....umm the same blood her non-sorceress aunt has? And bigger PLOT SPOILER, that is the entire plot which was good enough for an Award of Merit (whatever that is) for women film makers at IndieFest 2016. So Naama Kates can put that on her mantle next to her T-Ball trophy.
If you are heavy into New Middle Age Kabbalah mysticism stuff, you might find the film of some interest, or if you liked "Love Witch" for its content, you might like this film. As for me, I was bored. Knowing where the stars are in the sky doesn't get you any closer to them. No seriously. It doesn't.
Guide: F-word. F-word with an accent. No sex or nudity.
