Inspired by the Colombian legend of La Tarumama, Pranto Maldito tells the story of a couple who are getting divorced and who, in their last attempt to save their relationship, decide to go on vacation with their children to a cabin in the forest. There, the family is haunted by tragic memories when a woman begins to wander through the forest crying for her lost baby. The pain of the ghostly figure gets closer and closer to the house and things quickly get out of hand when they try to escape and find the exit blocked.
