Synopsis english
In the Spanish province, a real estate agent tries to evict a woman known as a healer from a farmstead in which she lives as an illegitimate resident and which she regards as a personal, sacred place of power. A nerve-wracking battle between the two parties begins, but both characters also come into serious conflict with themselves. Especially as the estate is not only shrouded in mysterious legends, but actually has uncanny powers at work. The story is diametrically opposed to the fabulous medieval legend of St. Wilgefortis. With: Pamela Field, Christiani Wetter, Martin Hilti and Klaus Henner Russius
Release: Summer 2024

Synopsis deutsch
Ein Immobilienagent versucht in der spanischen Provinz eine als Heilerin bekannte Frau aus einem Gehöft zu vertreiben, in welchem sie als illegitime Bewohnerin haust und welches sie als persönlichen, heiligen Kraftort betrachtet. Ein nervenaufreibender Kampf zwischen den beiden Parteien beginnt, aber auch mit sich selber geraten beide Figuren in argen Konflikt. Zumal das Anwesen nicht nur von geheimnisvollen Legenden umweht ist, sondern tatsächlich unheimliche Kräfte darin wirken. Der ganzen Geschichte diametral gegenübergestellt wird die sagenhafte, mittelalterliche Legende der Heiligen Wilgefortis (St. Kümmernis). Mit: Pamela Field, Christiani Wetter, Martin Hilti und Klaus Henner Russius
Release: Sommer 2024
