An American family buys an old English castle, haunted for three centuries by the ghost of Sir Simon. But the newcomers are afraid of nothing: they scrub away the bloodstain he makes reappear every night, and offer him oil for his noisy chains.
A ghost story turned upside down, in which it is the ghost who ends up terrified, full of humour and, little by little, of tenderness.
