The "witch hunts" in the 16th century, when tens of thousands died after being persecuted. There was a doctor who tried to save people who were condemned as witches in that crazy era with the power of medical treatment. This is a historical drama about Johann Weyer, a real doctor who was also a pioneer in psychiatry.
