Title Card:
Centuries have passed and the Almighty of medieval times no longer sits in his tenth sphere.

Title Card:
We no longer sit in church staring terrified at the frescoes of the devils.

Title Card:
The witch no longer flies away on her broom over the rooftops.

Title Card:

Title Card:
Is there an obvious difference between the sorceress and her customer then and now?

Title Card:
We no longer burn our old and poor. But do they not often suffer bitterly?

Title Card:
And the little woman, whom we call hysterical, alone and unhappy, isn't she still a riddle for us?

Title Card:

Title Card:
