In 1976, the director documented the sensational "Klingenberger Exorcism" about the death of the student Anneliese Michel.

The recordings, most of which can only be understood after technical equalization, show that the deadly exorcism was by no means just the mistreatment of an epilepsy patient, but a calculated staging by conservative clerics in order to overturn planned reforms. In the middle of the preparations for shooting, news broke of a new case in which a bishop officially exorcised the devil from a young woman. A woman who wants to complete Anneliese Michel's mission and show the world that Satan lives. The film accompanies her.
