Synopsis:
Victor's parents have arranged a marriage for their son with Victoria, a young woman from a fallen aristocratic family. Shy and sensitive, Victor struggles with self-expression and rehearses his wedding vows alone in a small forest on the eve of the ceremony. However, an unexpected event occurs. As he slips the ring onto a twig on the ground, he is shocked to find that the twig transforms into a decaying finger! Terrified, Victor witnesses the ground shaking as a zombie bride emerges before him, the very owner of that decayed finger.
The zombie bride earnestly declares herself to be Victor's lawful wife. Overwhelmed, Victor gradually learns that this woman died on her own wedding night and has been waiting here for her husband’s arrival ever since.
In the forest, Victor not only meets this woman but also discovers a world of the dead filled with joy and harmony. Deeply moved by what he sees, his fear begins to dissipate. However, caught between two worlds and two brides, Victor must make a difficult choice.
