SYNOPSIS

In the far North, a group of women are facing charges of witchcraft. If sentenced, they will be executed by the state by burning. In seeking a scapegoat for a sunken merchant fleet, the prosecuting authorities are eager to go beyond mere questioning. Based on real court documents from 17th century Norway, what at first glance might appear as absurd, turns out to not only portray historical events but also mirror our own present.
