It's set in 19th century Macedonia, when a young woman is transformed to a witch. After that, she proceeds to experience human existence, as she assumes the bodies of several people, including a man and a child (Noomi Rapace is one of her victims). The whole affair has a creepy experimental film vibe. There are some mildly gory moments as she consumes the entrails of her victims, but nothing especially gruesome. The voiceover narration and disjointed narrative create a darkly poetic muse on life. This film is really aimed more at art cinema enthusiasts, NOT horror fans. (Macedonian with subtitles) Expand

A fresh take on witches and or skin-changers that let's the audience see humanity from an entirely different and non-judgmental perspective. There's a lot of poetry here and that's a great thing, and there's a refreshing take on folklore.A fresh take on witches and or skin-changers that let's the audience see humanity from an entirely different and non-judgmental perspective.

Very interesting and ambitious. Had some incredible moments with some eye popping moments as well. If you are a fan of horror this is a must watch.
