The sacrificial well is said to have magical healing powers and money, silver, jewellery or other items are sacrificed there. The water of the sacrificial spring has been used to cure eye and skin diseases, to wash away evil spirits and to wash away crimes. This playful documentary, with its dramatic overtones, celebrates the folklore and warns against the desecration of the source and of nature as a whole.
