In a French village of the 17th century, life unfolds in an atmosphere of religious fervor and repression. There, a demonic possession shatters the tranquility and morality of the community, triggering a series of horrifying events. The story revolves around a nun who, after being accused of witchcraft, becomes the target of the Inquisition and the hatred of the townspeople. The atmosphere grows even more tense when a priest with lascivious tendencies becomes obsessed with her, trying to purify the nun's soul at all costs.
As the village succumbs to collective hysteria and witch trials, the boundaries between faith, madness, and desire blur. Tensions escalate when a group of zealous church followers, driven by fear and ignorance, confront the nun and their own inner demons. As the plot progresses, violence and oppression take hold of the community, demonstrating how fanaticism can lead to dehumanization and unrestrained cruelty.
This disturbing story, with its taste for the extravagant and grotesque, not only challenges the morality of the time but also invites the viewer to reflect on the nature of power, control, and the struggle between the sacred and the profane.
