Line 46:
The film crew of a popular home-improvement television series goes to a remote village in [[Moldova]] to film a follow-up segment about an American homeowner, Becky, who's been transforming a rundown house into an artist's haven. The crew, consisting of Greg, Alex and newcomer Sarah, meet with their irritable producer Kate and a Moldovian businessman named Vladimir. While getting some footage of the town, Greg and Sarah sneak into a funeral and attempt to record it, only to be exposed when Kate calls them by cellphone. A police officer manages to calm the furious crowd before ordering the crew to leave.
 
The crew continue filming during the next few daydays while experiencing numerous interruptions and receiving hostility and suspicion from the locals, including an old woman who sneaks into Sarah's hotel room to chant a prayer at her. Greg and Alex later show Sarah a video of Greg and Vladimir walking into a barn to find Kate having sex with Becky's boyfriend Goran six months ago when the house was purchased. Despite telling Kate the camera was off at the time, they planned on showing it to their boss should Kate try to get them dismissed from employment. Vladimir tells the crew a story about how the village had been struck by a plague generations previously, and the villagers had accused a woman who lived alone outside of town of being a witch before burning her alive. During the last planned day of filming, Becky shows the crew a mural on the wall of her cellar that depicts the story. They're interrupted by Alex's cries of pain from outside when a dog he was playing with suddenly becomes aggressive and bites him in the arm. They abandon filming to get Alex's wound at a local butcher's shop, and resolve to finish the next day before their flight leaves.
 
That evening the crew go to a tavern and attempt to make peace with the locals. Everything goes well until a drunk Sarah instigates a fight by shouting "witch" in the local language. The next day, they rush to finish filming at Becky's home so they can leave Moldova as soon as possible. However, they discover their car has been vandalized and rendered unusable, forcing them to spend the night with Becky and to wait for Goran to arrive the next morning. Vladimir offers to walk to town and bring back a taxicab. Kate blames Sarah for the vehicle's destruction due her actions the previous night, causing Sarah to reveal that the affair was recorded.
