A brutal witch-hunter and an unknowing witch go on a blind date at a local tavern. And her cover is at stake.
It’s the year 1698 in the rural town of Krünfell. Witch trials are slowly becoming a thing of the past, but they still occur occasionally. Marlene, a young farmer, is looking for a lover and is set up on a blind date at a local tavern. Unfortunately for Marlene, a witch from birth, she quickly learns over dinner that her date Sullivan is a passionate and brutal witch-hunter. Will he find out about her secret and burn her at the stake? A risky dinner ensues where Marlene finds herself metaphorically walking on eggshells trying not to reveal her true nature. Will love overpower hard truths, or will contrasting beliefs bring conflict? Find out in A Sandwich for the Witch, a thriller short film by Julia Habchi
