Nicolas Roeg's classic chiller based on the short story by Daphne du Maurier.
On a cold, bright day in England, a little girl drowns in a pond. She is the daughter of John Baxter (Donald Sutherland) and his wife Laura (Julie Christie). Still numb with grief, Laura accompanies John to Venice where he is restoring a church, in the hope that the holiday will help her to recover from the shock of her daughter's death.
In Venice, the Baxters meet two old sisters who claim a mediumistic connection with the dead girl. The husband scorns the idea, but repeatedly sees a little red-coated figure in shadowy passages by the canals. Then he confronts it…
