On the eve of the Day of the Dead, among mysterious old rituals of the Vilnius region, ghosts of the past and present start to appear.

Count Olgierd Łabiński lives in Paris with his beloved wife, but their quiet life is disturbed by the arrival of Octavius de Saville, a former admirer of the Countess from her days in Florence. Obsessed with possessing her, Octavius seeks out Dr. Cherbonneau, a sinister figure dabbling in Eastern teachings of reincarnation. Through the doctor’s occult science, Octavius attempts a dangerous “exchange of souls,” scheming to inhabit the Count’s body and win the woman he desires.

The movie consists of two satirical novels based on the same idea: both the "gangsters" and "philanthropists" end up in the courtroom.
