El Mito

In the late 17th century, in Querétaro, Mexico, a Spanish maiden gives birth to a creature. The maiden claims to be possessed by African and indigenous demons. Franciscan friars attempt to exorcise the evil spirits, only to accuse a mixed-race witch of summoning them. The commissioner of the Holy Office, investigating the occurrence, draws his own conclusions, but someone has decided to eliminate the creature before he can see it.
