Customs and superstitions in dark ages

Five different stories set in dark ages, in the year 926 in the area near Bologna, the town of the director. Very interesting all the customs shown, that derive directly from previous pagan uses. The absolutely power of the religion and the church. The daily attempt to find something but misery of the life in God. Very expressive movie, one of the best ones by Pupi Avati.
