Like every summer, little Salomé returns to her family village nestled in the Portuguese mountains for the holidays. As the vacations begin in a carefree atmosphere, her beloved grandmother suddenly dies. While the adults are tearing each other apart over the funeral, Salomé is haunted by the spirit of the one who was considered a witch.

Eight-year-old Selena wakes up from a strange dream. She searches in a wooden trunk and finds her Snow White disguise. She is bored to death with her cousin in their vacation home in Portugal. While their older cousin tans in the garden, they sneak up and steal a donkey to go swimming at the dam. When they stop at a cemetery on the way, Selena sees the silhouette of an old lady in black, just like in her dream. She gets scared and then runs away, alone in the forest.
