Hampe Faustman (1919-1961) was a rare Swedish left wing director and actor. Inspired many in his trade. The prologue includes the burning of the witch Marit, serious cursing from the pyre and a wild bunch of superstitious Swedish farmers who submits to God and the devil at the same time. Gunn Wållgren portrays the farm girl from nowhere as well as the spirit of the witch Marit. The divided self. Every man and boy falls for her. The devil is pleased. He appears in the disguise of a travelling trader. Among other things, he sells a gold embroiled skirt that makes old hags beautiful and turns whores into virgins. It's the eighteenth century.
