In a Danish village in the early 1600s, a young woman named Anne, whose mother was thought to be a witch, develops sympathy toward an old woman, Marte, who is accused of witchcraft. The intervention of Anne's older but kindly husband, Pastor Absalon saved her mother -- but now, urged on by his overbearing mother, he refuses to help Marte. When Absalon's son returns home and is attracted to Anne, it's a matter of time before her family destiny catches up with her.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A suffocating moral drama where a young woman's inherited curse closes in as her family's hypocrisy and desire unravel around her. It's a bleak meditation on how fear and self-interest destroy compassion.
