Based on the work from Mariana Enriquez and directed by Pablo Larraín, My Sad Dead follows Ema, who can see and hear the dead. After her mother’s death, Ema receives an unexpected visit from her niece Julie, with whom she shares the same unsettling gift. With Julie’s return, family secrets and wounds that never fully healed will resurface —but so will a strange phenomenon from which no one will emerge unscathed. The entire neighborhood will sense presences and hear the distinctive sounds of their own dead.

On the eve of the 2001 outbreak, Natalia falls madly in love with her lifelong friend Diego. The romance is interrupted when he meets the more experienced Silvia. With the help of her grandma Rita, Natalia decides to call on incantations and curses to jinx Diego and Silvia's blossoming relationship.
