Magic of the Night (2016)- full story

It is not suitable for younger than 15 years, potentially disturbing / depressing images and a non-graphic nudity. The story doesn't condemn religion but punishing innocent people to death due to suspicion of witchcraft, which often occurred in the Middle Ages.
------------------------------------

Intro: Once upon a time, in the Middle Ages, the church had supreme power. Since there was paranoia among people due to illnesses that lured people and animals, the church accused people of witchcraft to "restore well-being", and in fact it was a mass murder of innocent people. The people would be tortured in the harshest ways, then hanged, drowned or burned at the stake. This story doesn't show real events, it is a work of fiction and doesn't stand on either side.

Cathedral, somewhere around midnight
Priest: "You have to catch more witches! They are here and because of them illnesses kill us!"

Servant: "This month we hung five witches and burned three - I think that we are doing well. We have to inquire in the village who yet is suspicious. Women talk in the village who could be a witch."
Priest:"All right. Follow the situation. "

Priest: "These damn witches will not bring misfortune and illness to our village anymore. We will find and kill them!"
Servant: "Do not worry about it, that's our concern. It's just that you open eyes to the people and keep them awake."

Square, morning
Filomena: "Aurelia will join us later, she had to prepare milk for sale. How much did you manage to get?"
Clodita: "A full bucket. I think it will be enough money for the whole week! Did you hear that two people were hung for suspicion of witchcraft?"

Filomena: "Do they still haunt the witches? When will they realize that they are not guilty for illnesses, but the bad conditions of life? "

Clodita: "You know them, they do not give up their beliefs."
Aurelia: "Filomena, Clodita, you're gossiping somebody again? I'm just kidding, what are you now talking about? "

Filomena: "There were killed three more for suspicion of witchcraft."
Aurelia: "Oh, no, that's terrible!"
Clodita: "The problem is that anyone can be condemned and without proof!"

Filomena and Aurelia's house
Aurelia: "You're worried about this whole situation?"
Filomena: "Yes, I do not want them to take me, torture and kill me!"

Aurelia: "Do not worry, sister, everything will be fine."
In the evening, in the deaf night:
Aurelia: "We'll arrive soon. Just be quiet."

Filomena: "Well, here we are, here is perfect."
Aurelia: "Nobody will get us here."

Together: "Oh, Goddess of dark night
Magnify our power! "

In the morning
Priest: "You must open your eyes, they are all around us! They are just waiting for the moment to eliminate us and take control of us!"
"They have basic characteristics- they differ from us in many ways. They have mark on the body, use their left hand more than their right. The left hand is evil!"
Clodita: "The priest again talks about hunting the witches."
Filomena: "Oh, is it again?"
Aurelia: "How does he have a nerve to tell people the same story?"

Priest: "They look like all of us all through the day and at night they are sinners that play around the fire naked!"
Aurelia: "Like he saw it, so he knows. He just makes stereotypes about us."

Priest: "It can be anyone, even ..."

Priest: "... some of them! Open your eyes, people!"

Later
Aurelia: "Is everything all right?"
Filomena: "Do you think this mark is really a sign of evil?"

Aurelia: "Nonsense, you are one of the most tame creatures I know, except the Clodita. Do not believe in fictional stories."
Filomena: "But we are witches and we have this mark!"

Aurelia: "Well, that does not mean that we bring a misfortune to the village. After all, we are both right-handed."
"The priest said witches were left-handed, weren't they?"
Filomena: "You're right. Besides the clothes we wear, no one will see mark!"

In the inn, in the evening
Man: "Hey, there is Clodita, I'll go."
Man: "Hey, beauty, are you going for a walk alone? Do you need a company?"

Man: "Hey, beauty, are you going for a walk alone? Do you need a company?"
Clodita: "I have to hurry home ..."
Man: "You're not going anywhere!"

Man: "You'll see, you'll be fine with me ..."
Clodita: "Help! Let me go, I do not want to be with you!"
Aurelia: "Let her go."
Man: "Who are you now?"
Clodita: "Impossible ... Aurelia?"

Aurelia: "Immediately! You found to satisfy your animal impulses over a poor girl?"

Aurelia: "You want a girl ..."

"... and you'll get it."

Man: "She may be a witch, but I'd be crazy to miss this opportunity."
"How great she looks ... real premium!"

Aurelia: "You will get what you deserve, fool. You will never attack anyone anymore."
Man: "Come here."
Aurelia: "Whatever you want."
"Get ready to go ..."

Clodita: "Filomena, quick, come here! We have a problem!"

Filomena: "What's wrong? What happened to you?"
Clodita: "Oh, you're a witch too! I must dream! No, this is not happening!"

Filomena: "Do not be afraid, I will not hurt you. Where is Aurelia?"
Clodita: "On a meadow, she saved me from one man."
Filomena: "Okay, I'm going to her, and you go to safe."

Man: "Will not you beg me not to say your secret?"
Aurelia: "There's no need for that. You will not say it."

Aurelia: "At least not in this world!"
Man: ,, Aaah! You ... "
Filomena: "Has anyone seen you? What did you do with a maniac?"
Aurelia: "He's dead."

Filomena: "You killed him? Do you know how many problems this will bring us ?!"
 

Aurelia: "If I did not, he would tell for us and maybe attack Clodita again. This way, the secret will be kept."

In the morning:
Priest: "People, the end of the world! The witch killed a man!"
"They found him dead, without clothes, with a stab wound! It can only be a work of a witch!"
"The last who saw this man said the name of that blasphemer. That's ..."

Priest: "This woman known to you as Clodita! She is a witch!"
"Look at her, folks!"
Clodita: "But, I'm not a witch!"
 

Aurelia: "Clodita did not do it, I did!"

Priest: Do not try to protect the witch! Tomorrow it will be judged to her before everyone! If there is no witch mark, maybe we will set her free! "
Aurelia: "But I killed that bastard!"
Priest: "The decision was made."

Clodita: "If the maniac attacked me, I would still be dead. Thank you for trying."
Aurelia: "But ..."

Filomena: "They will condemn her and kill her because of us!"
Aurelia: "They will only kill her if there are signs that they are looking for."

In the evening
Filomena: "Damn it with all this situation! We'll lose our closest friend for this damn situation!"
"Damn witch hunt!"
"Hey, somebody is near the tree. I'm going to see. "
,,Oh no!"
 

Filomena: "For the name of the world, Clodita, what are you doing? !!! You know they punish suicide!"

Clodita: ,, Punishments, punishments! Dammit with punishments! I will not live in such a world! Tomorrow they would humiliate me in front of everyone! "
Filomena: "But they will let when they see that you do not have one of these" witchcraft "signs ..."

Clodita: "I have. I'm a left-handed since I know about myself. That's enough for them."

Clodita: "Tomorrow I would get undressed in front of everyone - I could not stand it even if I was freed. The death is the solution."
Filomena: "But I can not let you go!"
Clodita: "Please, I know you understand me."

Clodita: "Farewell, Filomena! Thank you for everything nice."
Filomena: "Oh, why can not I do anything?"
"Damned was fate!"
"The hell with all, the hell!"

Filomena: "Why? Why?" They've better accused and killed me instead of her! "

Filomena: "Aurelia is the main culprit!"
"She will have to pay for this!"
At home
Aurelia: "If they kill Clodita because of me, I will surrender!"

Aurelia: "All I can do is make potions, but that would not help. Maybe ..."

Aurelia: "Filomena, look, I made a potion for the freeing from guilt! We just have to pour it into a drink that jury consumes and ..."
Filomena: "Keep your potions. Clodita hung herself."
Aurelia: "But ... why ?! Maybe they could have freed her ... I can not believe it!"

Filomena: "They would not, because she was a left handed. You are guilty for her death and I do not want to see you again! I hope that you will be punished!"

Aurelia: "Where are you going?" Please, do not go!"
Filomena: "I'm going from you."
"You can keep the necklace."
"I will not need it anymore. I do not want to be a witch anymore."

Aurelia: "Filomena!"
Filomena: "Goodbye."

Priest: "The witch has proved her blasphemy with the greatest sin- suicide. With that, she proves her guilt."
"Her body will be buried far from the village. I suggest, let it be a teaching to all of you who are hiding- we will find you!"

Filomena: "Aurelia, what are you doing ?!"
Priest: "?"

Aurelia: "Clodita did not kill this man and she is not a witch. I AM."
Filomena: "Aurelia, come back here! You do not have to do this!"
,,NO!"
Priest: "She is a witch!" Capture her right now! "

Aurelia: "It's all right, I deserve this. You have to get out of here today."
Filomena: "But ..."
Aurelia: "No, but!"
Filomena: "Okay."
Aurelia: "Take care."

Filomena: "I can not believe this is happening ..."

Priest: "Well, will you tell me where the other witches are hiding? I'm sure you know at least one more."
Aurelia: "We do it ourselves, we do not need someone else to bother. You can torture me as much as you like, but I do not know other witches."

Aurelia: "I hope Filomena managed to escape ..."

Two days later:
Priest: "People, today one of them will burn!"
"We'll destroy the evil step by step! Here's one of them!"

Aurelia: "Oh, for the name of the world, cut that stupid story!"
Priest: "Burn her now!"
Aurelia: "It's getting hot ..."

Aurelia: ,, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! This is unbearable !!! "
Mass: "Hahaha, burn, witch!"

Aurelia: "Goodbye cruel world ..."
Mass: "Burn!"
"We are saved!"
,,Yes!"
In the evening, the cathedral:

Priest: "I toast in the name of my reign- people are turned to me, and those who oppose are executed!"
"It seems I will rule for a long time."

Priest: "This wine is somehow too bitter ..."
Filomena: "Hey, how's the wine?"

Priest: "What, witch! Guard, guard! Grab the witch!"
Filomena: "I poured drink for sleeping on them. So, how is the wine?"
Priest: "Why are you asking me that?! Oh ... what's happening? I feel like I'm falling apart!"

Priest: "What did you put in the drink, blasphemer one ?!"
Filomena: "Just a few grams of cyanide. That's for all the people you killed, including Clodita and my sister."

Filomena: "Goodbye. I'm leaving from here."
Priest: "You damn ..."
Priest: "Wi ..."

Guards: "The priest is dead! Oh no!"
