18th century Austria. Villages surrounded by deep forests. A woman is sentenced to death after killing a baby. Agnes is marrying her loved one and candidly prepares herself for a spouse life. Soon after, her head and heart start to feel heavy. Day after day, she is increasingly trapped in a murky and lonely path leading to evil thoughts. Maybe not just thoughts…

Following on from the lusty and drama-filled escapades of Kenya in Paradise: Love, Ulrich Seidl’s second instalment of his trilogy reverts back to Austria where devout Christian, Anna Maria (Maria Hofstaetter) fills her summer break with missionary work.
