SYNOPSIS Macario is convinced that his daughter is the witch responsible for the deaths of several children in the village. Overwhelmed by fear and guilt, he cannot face the suspicions of his neighbors. Tormented, he flees to the mountains, where he struggles with his doubts and the pain of believing that his own blood is the source of the horror. Determined to stop the evil that haunts his people, he prepares to confront the darkness, no matter the cost.
