In the Fire

In this gripping historical drama set in the late 1800s, we follow a dedicated doctor from New York who ventures to an isolated plantation, seeking to provide medical care for a disturbed young boy. Unbeknownst to her, this child possesses seemingly supernatural abilities that disrupt the balance of the small village he lives in. As the doctor delves into treating his peculiar condition, she unwittingly becomes entangled in a conflict between science and religion – as the local priest vehemently believes that the boy's powers signify demonic possession and are causing misfortune for the entire community. This intense narrative explores themes of faith, reason, and human nature, all set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.
