    A Blend Of The Sixth Sense And Ghost.
    When a doctor, who is down on his luck, gets in a car accident...he wakes up from a coma four days later...with a newfound ability.

    As it seems he can now see the dead...well, maybe not ALL the dead...rather, only the dead who feel that his family has stolen something from them.

    At first, he doesn't realize these people are dead...so he's interacting with people who aren't there...at least as far as other people are concerned.

    And at the end of each day, he witnesses them die...before they return to life the next day, as if nothing happened.

    Which, as you can imagine...been weighing heavily on his sanity.

    And, to make matters worse, this is all going on, on top of becoming estranged from his wife and child, and having to deal with his overbearing mother.

    The only thing getting him through all this, is the relationship he has been forming with one of the ghosts.

    As things plod on, he eventually does realize what he needs to do: dig up the skeletons from his family's past, so that he can bury them, and end the cyclical torment of these lost souls, that are still trapped in the material realm.

    In the end, it's sort of a mash up of The Sixth Sense and Ghost...though, it lacks the tension and engaging romance of either tale.

    The romance angle here, seems particularly forced.

    In that it's more sad and pathetic, than it is engaging and moving.

    When all is said and done...it's not a bad film...but it is really quite slow, and fails to fully engage you.

    It never really got me to the point where I empathized and cared about the characters.

    I just kind of sat through it and it was over.

    But, as far as films from Macedonia are concerned...I'm sure this is up there among the best.

    It was that country's submission to the 80th Academy Awards, mind you.

    5.5 out of 10.
