HEXE
»Ein wutentbrannter Donnerschlag, der die Mythen in Stücke reißt, die dem männlichen Machterhalt dienen« Daily Mail Edinburgh, 4. Dezember 1591. Es ist die letzte Nacht im Leben von Geillis Duncan: Als Hexe verurteilt, in einem Verließ tief unter der High Street von Edinburgh, weiß sie, dass der Henker sie erwartet. Da erscheint eine geheimnisvolle Besucherin in der Zelle: Iris, die behauptet, sie käme aus einer Zukunft, in der Frauen immer noch dafür verfolgt werden, wer sie sind und woran sie glauben. Während die Stunden vergehen und die Morgendämmerung heraufzieht, erzählt Geillis von ihrer Verhaftung, der brutalen Folter, ihrem Geständnis und dem Prozess, während Iris ihr Trost spendet. Basierend auf historischen Tatsachen zeigt uns »HEXE« schonungslos, was passiert, wenn eine Gesellschaft von Angst, Aberglauben und Misstrauen geprägt ist, und wie der unnachgiebig und mit brutaler Gewalt geführte Feldzug eines Königs gegen Frauen bis in die Gegenwart hinein spürbar ist.
