Salamandre

Directed by Arnold de Parscau

With Guillaume Gouix, Marie-Reine Poyteau and Fanny Ardant

In 1900, in an arid region of Berry, France, drought had been raging for over a year. The trees had dried up, the crops were lost, and the animals were dying of thirst. A desperate farmer appealed to an old woman who lived in an isolated tower. She promised him rain in exchange for a sacrifice: his newborn son.
