HEX

description

In the heart of Norway's black metal scene three young women have entered into a three-year pact where they will devote their entire lives to awaken the world, each other, and themselves as witches... and start screaming.

HEX follows Nikoline, Victoria, and Johanna who form the band Witch Club Satan without knowing how to play a single instrument. Over three years, they commit to becoming witches and musicians, using black metal to unleash raw, female power. But as the band gains momentum, it also gains a will of its own, testing their unity, values, and vision of freedom. Haunted by the echoes of historical witch trials, the film asks: what does it mean to be a free woman today—and are we still condemning witches to silence?
