“Åland witch hunts 1666”

DramaHistory

Anna is a 16-year old in a village where women are accused of witchcraft. It's based on the witch hunts on Åland, Finland in the 1600s.

VIBE

A chilling historical drama set against the backdrop of brutal witch hunts. The film feels oppressive and tense, exploring themes of injustice and superstition with a melancholic, arthouse sensibility. It's a slow-burn descent into paranoia and desperation.
