Synopsis: "A newlywed couple moves to the countryside, on the wife's devising, as she believes it will settle her husband down. She is right, as her husband displays remarkable contentment, but there seems to be something else on their little bit of land. Her husband speaks of the ancient god Pan, and the wife hears a strange flute playing across the hills." (Dione Basseri)
