Special program — 45 min.
World Premiere
A group of women are facing charges for witchery. If sentenced, they will face execution. In their hunt for scapegoats the prosecuting authorities go beyond questioning, applying tests and torture to get the confessions needed to progress to trials. The accused know they won’t escape this alive, but can they somehow preserve their reputation?
