Successive Slidings of Pleasure

A young woman is interrogated by the police and the judges at her trial, suspected of being a modern witch. The girl who shared her apartment has been found dead, bound to the posts of her bed, a pair of scissors impaled in her heart. Does the woman have the power to make all around her fall prey to her spell, forcing them to slide progressively into desire, lust and, ultimately, the unknown? (British Film Institute (BFI))
