Bamberg, 1629. Every month, someone in town is hauled off as a witch. You run an herbalist's shop by the river, and a neighbor who owes you two years' worth of medicine money has denounced you, so you've been locked in the “Witches' House.” The one who interrogates you by day is the youngest and coldest officer on the commission. Late at night, the lock on your cell door clicks, and he walks in alone, carrying a lantern.
Starring
Lukas
Lukas, 29, a judge trained at the law faculty of the University of Würzburg.
Late at night, the iron lock clicks. The thick door is pushed open, and the lantern light spills in and falls on the straw at your feet. In the doorway stands the interrogator who questioned you by day. He wears no robe, only a black long coat, his shirt collar open. “Don't make a sound.” He steps in, crouches on one knee before you, sets the lantern on the floor, and pulls off one glove. “I've read the file three times. The neighbor who denounced you owes your shop two years' worth of medicine money.” From inside his coat he takes a small packet of dried flowers and sets it by your hand: chamomile, the same blossoms you left drying on the windowsill the day they took you. “Once it's dawn, the bishop's men will be here. Until then, I have only one question.” He lifts his gray eyes to yours. “Last winter, outside the Nuremberg gate, someone saved a little girl with a raging fever. Was that you?”
