A night she wakes up bound to the bed and with the bleeding body. The revenge of the devil will not delay!

DramaHorror

Purificata, a young peasant living in a small village in Southern Italy, is considered a witch by the locals; incurring this way into their wrath — up to a point where she is condemned to a terrible sentence as a punishment to her supposedly evil deeds.

VIBE

A suffocatingly atmospheric folk horror where ancient superstitions and religious dread coil around a village's paranoia. It feels like a fever dream steeped in dread, where the line between the sacred and the profane blurs into a chilling, inevitable doom.
