Synopsis

A woman who is tortured to obtain a confession, determinedly insists on the truth. An executioner who has serious doubts about the course of justice is too afraid to act on his own judgment. Indifferent, corrupt and ruthless rulers, who carelessly decide on life and death.

De Beul van Entgen Luyten is a short, intense drama set in the Limbricht of 1674. With this true story, we search with a contemporary eye for what really could have happened at this dark moment in history.
