Conjuration rituals against the “evil eye” are a preventive, protective and curative magical practice that is an integral part of Corsican and Mediterranean culture. From the rural to the urban world, these ancient practices are passed on to the young generations in Corsica, Greece and Morocco.
Accompanying the filmed rituals, various specialists (an anthropologist, a linguist, a psychoanalyst, a priest, a clinic manager…) talk about the subject.
