THE KNOT

After secretly casting love spells on each other, a couple find out that digging deep into the dirt and the heart can reveal truths and open up new possibilities for their relationship free of deceit and magic. "THE KNOT," is based on a true story, originally retold by a priest, for the purpose of a magazine article, written by Jacintha Annius-Lee. The article explored the use of Obeah in Saint Lucia, including ‘love ties’, which was further explored in the film.
