A low-budget horror-fantasy that blends reincarnation mysticism with medieval witch-trial paranoia, driven by supernatural strangeness and period-specific dread.

Two psychics place a prostitute under hypnosis in order to learn about her past-life experiences. When they unwittingly send her back in time, she finds herself in the Middle Ages, suspected of being a witch and on the verge of being executed.
