Synopsis
Moravia, 1670. For having stolen a host, believing that it was treating her cow which no longer gives milk, an old woman is accused of witchcraft. The lord of the country then summons a tribunal of the Inquisition to judge her. The inquisitor, Boblig von Edelstadt, relies on the famous manual Malleus Maleficarum to conduct the interrogations. But, very quickly, the tortures will follow the denunciations, and the stakes will light, always more numerous.
