Synopsis

Set in Norway’s legendary black metal scene, Hex follows three young women, Nikoline, Victoria, and Johann, who form the band Witch Club Satan without knowing how to play a single instrument. Over three years, they commit to becoming witches and musicians, using black metal to unleash raw, female power. But as the band gains momentum, it also gains a will of its own, testing their unity, values, and vision of freedom. Haunted by the echoes of historical witch trials, the film asks: what does it mean to be a free woman today, and are we still condemning witches to silence?
