‍Go to content: Upper Austria in 1750: A carp pond reflects the gray of the sky. A deep, dark forest absorbs sunlight. An executed person is displayed on a hill. As proof. As a warning. An omen? The deeply religious and highly sensitive Agnes looks at the dead woman with compassion. Even with longing, because she feels a stranger in the world of her husband Wolf, into which she has just married. An emotionally cold world full of work, tasks and expectations. Agnes withdraws more and more. Her inner prison is becoming ever narrower, her melancholy is becoming ever more overwhelming. An act of violence soon seems to be the only way out.

Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala create an abysmal psychogram of a woman, played with flesh and bone, tendons and soul by Anja Plaschg (who also composed the film music as Soap&Skin).

THE DEVIL'S BATH gives women from rural backgrounds, the invisible and unheard of this time, a voice; shows their hard everyday life, characterized by religious dogmas and taboos that still have an effect today. A film based on historical court records, about a harrowing, hitherto unilluminated chapter of European history.
