aka: The Canterville Ghost

Film Synopsis

At the heart of Brittany, the ghost of Aliénor de Canterville is condemned to haunt her family's château and to drive away anyone who attempts to take up residence in the ancient building.  She carries out this mission in an exemplary fashion, assisted by her faithful servant Gwilherm.  But when the Otis family buy the château to escape the hubbub of modern life in Paris, Aliénor soon realises she has met her match.  Try as she might, nothing she does manages to frighten this 21st century brood of thick-skinned nuisances.  Not only do the youngsters make fun of her, but the parents ignore her altogether.  What a tragic turn of events for a career phantom!  Aliénor's only friend in the Otis clan is 15-year-old Virginia.  Moved by the plight of the unfortunate ghost of Canterville, the latter sets out to find a way to lift the terrible curse that has been imposed on her.
