The Returning (1991)

Synopsis of The Returning

Alan (Phillip Gordon) has a family law practice and a family of his own. One day the whole setup seems impossibly claustrophobic to him, so he abandons everything and wanders around away from town until a ruined old mansion house in the country catches his eye, and he rents it. While there, he has incredibly erotic dreams of being in the arms of a lovely woman who died in the mansion a hundred years earlier. Intrigued at this encounter with the past, he enlists the help of two local men to help him research what happened to the girl. One of the men is a very non-traditional priest (Max Cullen), the other is simply someone from the area (Jim Moriarty). As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Alan's life and the dead girl's final story are beginning to resemble one another. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
