ABRACADABRA 2013 brings together an array of characters set within a story of mystery and intrigue. The film centres on a reporter named Damien, who after winning a scrabble game, is visited by a ghost. He follows her into the dark streets of Brussels until he reaches the closed gates of a big building. The next day, Damien returns to find out more about this location and meets the inhabitants: three mysterious women forming something between a Christian commune and a secret society. They invite him in for supper. He’s never coming back out.
