My Sad Dead Synopsis
Emma can see the dead, but her supernatural ability has become a burden she would rather keep under control. After retiring, she is grieving her mother when her family arrives and disrupts her isolated life. Her niece Julie appears especially troubled, and it soon becomes clear that the young woman shares a connection to the supernatural. Unlike Emma, however, Julie approaches that gift with a different and far more intense energy. The consequences spread through the neighborhood as violence strikes Buenos Aires and the city’s dead begin haunting the living. Emma is increasingly forced to use the abilities she has spent years carrying quietly. Across four episodes, My Sad Dead turns grief, family secrets and communication with spirits into an intimate supernatural horror story.
