Story
Freshly graduated psychiatrist David is tasked with evaluating Maddalena, a young woman on trial for murdering a hunter while claiming to be a witch acting under the devil's orders. After his first meeting with Maddalena, David begins to experience strange changes: he neglects his beautiful wife Cristina and becomes consumed by daydreams and hallucinations involving Inquisition interrogations and erotic witch circles. It is suggested that Maddalena has been searching for a suitable man for her needs for the past 300 years.
