Boarding school student Hannah (Valerie Stoll) returns home to her father's (Godehard Giese) country butcher shop for the summer. However, because her mother is said to have once lured three men into the adjacent moor, the daughter is vilified as a witch by the superstitious villagers - something that doesn't diminish at all when the mysterious events keep piling up wherever Hannah appears. "We are also deliberately dealing with our own experience of repression here," says director Bialas. "the masculine defensive reflex against intellectually superior women in the film cleverly ties in with the witch hunts of earlier centuries." (kn-online.de)
