Overview

In 1997, Romanian actress Silvia Enescu mysteriously disappeared while searching for family property in Transylvania. All she left behind were a collection of home movies: the TRANSYLVANIA TAPES. Now, Silvia's daughter Mara travels from Los Angeles to Romania to discover what happened to her mother. With the help of her cameraman friend Dylan, Mara documents her journey, which takes her from the streets of Bucharest to the medieval town of Sighisoara, deep in the heart of Transylvania. Unearthing the truth about her mother comes at a terrible price, as Mara must escape an ancient family curse.
