Synopsis

In the beginning of the XVII Century, certain protestant sects left England heading to North America.

In 1692, Salem, Massachusetts, was one of the most powerful and austere colonies.

After seven months of sexual abstinence by his wife Elisabeth, the hard-working farmer, John Proctor, has sex twice with seventeen year-old virgin servant Abigail Williams who is infatuated with him.

When the other servant Mary Warren sees John sneaking into Abigail's room during the night, she tells Elisabeth who in turn sends Abigail back to her uncle's home.

When a group of women are accused of witchcraft, the manipulative and wicked Abigail manipulates Mary and other hysteric girls to take their revenge against Elisabeth, suggesting she is a witch.

The local Reverend Paris, the Governor Danforth and other politicians support the accusation expecting to increase their power against the repressed inhabitants.

John and other dwellers are imprisoned and only a confession can save them from the gallows.
