aka Kanashimi no Belladonna."You are at your wits end, even your husband has abandoned you."
Jeanne and Jean are presented to the local baron as newlyweds. The baron insists on his feudal right to payment. As the couple cannot afford it, he brutally rapes her instead. The couple try to put this behind them, but then the baron punishes Jean by chopping of a hand for not collecting enough taxes. Again the couple rise about it, only for the Baron's wife to denounce Jeanne as a witch. Driven from the village, she eventually does turn to witchcraft in vengeance.
Minimalistic, mainly still images, combine with occasional animation, to tell a disturbing story that touches on the sado-erotic, in a long winded way.
