The Forbidden Play

"Eloim Essaim, Eloim Essaim" are the words that represent the evil taboo that changes everything in this film...the 'Forbidden Play' to revive the dead. A child's innocent desire to bring his mother back to the world of the living triggers an ode of evil that affects Hiroko, a young streaming video director.

- "When lizards lose their tails, they grow back. -Really? So, can a new lizard also grow from the tail? -Yes. If you bury it and recite a spell, it grows back." Haruto gets the idea of reviving his mother from this comical conversation with his parents. Naoto Ihara and Miyuki make a very happy marriage until unfortunately, the mother dies in a tragic car accident, so Haruto buries a finger of the mother in the garden of his house and starts praying every day for the mother to come back to life.

At the same time, the streaming video director who is Naoto's former friend, begins to experience all kinds of paranormal occurrences, confirming that what starts as an innocent and loving wish of a child, becomes the contempt of a powerful curse.

The Japanese film is directed by Hideo Nakata and scripted by Noriaki Sugihara. The cast includes Uika First Summer, Kanna Hashimoro, Mayu Hotta, Kenta Izuka and Shinobu Hasewaga among other actors.
