Synopsis
" The Devil and Miss Prym is a simple tale, with the meaning of life and spiritual guidance at its core." -- The Guardian A community divided by greed, cowardice, and fear. A man haunted by the ghost of a painful past. A young woman in search of happiness.

With the arrival of a foreigner, the entire town becomes an accomplice in a perverse plot that will forever mark the history of its inhabitants. The foreigner has traveled from far away and needs to find the answer to a question that torments him: Are human beings, in essence, good or evil?
