synopsis
Based on the real-life trial of the 60-year-old nun who was persecuted for witchcraft in 1594, Gostanza da Libbiano is the third in a "trilogy of identity" that also includes The Kiss of Judas (1998) and Confortorio (1992). Starring Lucia Poli as Gostanza, the film traces the nun's imprisonment and cold-blooded interrogation by various church representatives.
