Wake Wood

Synopsis: Still grieving the death of nine-year-old Alice - their only child - at the jaws of a crazed dog, vet Patrick and pharmacist Louise relocate to the remote town of Wake Wood where they learn of a pagan ritual that will allow them three more days with Alice. The couple find the idea disturbing and exciting in equal measure, but once they agree terms with Arthur, the village's leader, a far bigger question looms - what will they do when it's time for Alice to go back?

- Would that ease your pain, hm?
- That's not funny.
If she's been dead for less than a year,
I can bring her back.
It's only for three days.
For most people it's enough.
That is ridiculous. It is nonsense.
All right. All right.
But do one thing for me, Patrick.
Before you deride my offer...
...ask your wife.
She knows.
- I told you already.
- You didn't tell me anything.
- Please, just stop this.
- Stop this? Stop what?
- What is it you think I'm doing?
- Come on, babe.
Please, come on, be straight with me.

What?
A birth... maybe.

I believe him.
Patrick, I believe what Arthur said.
If we do this, will you stay?
Louise?
I just want her back.
OK.
But it's not so simple, is it?
If we have to lie, isn't it won'th it?

[Mutters]
This is what we can do.
Your daughter will be brought back.
Make the most of the time.
And after she'll go back to the woods.
- She's just on loan.
- Will she be normal?
Yes, quite. Her heart will beat,
her breath will breathe
and she'll remember the time
she had with you, some of it.
It lasts for three days only,
during which you must keep Alice
within the townland of Wakewood.
