Overview

DramaHorrorTV Movie

Long ago, the sect existed in Navarra the sorguiñas. One of them gave birth to a child of the devil, who went to study in Salamanca, frequented the cave and returned to their land, serving as priest in the village of Bargota. Shortly after settling deaths begin to happen in the place and some locals begin to suspect him.
