The Hunt for Witches
1 hr. 38 min.
Description
About the symptoms of the “witch’s fever” (the title of the novella is translated literally into Russian): Esben learns it when his mother, who knows how to heal sick people, is accused of colluding with the devil, and the very same people who were helped by her burn her at the stake. The terrible execution takes place before the eyes of a teenager. Overcome with horror, he runs from the burning pyre until, exhausted, he falls on the shore of a fjord. Here Hans the Healer finds him—what the local peasants also call him, Hans Head—because he, like Esben’s mother, treats the sick. And it is he who tells Esben this story.
