In India of the 70s and 80s, various
sects were founded to
meditation and
self-help. One of this sects is the so-called
Taylor-Eriksson-group, which
exorcise the "dark part of the human souls" with the help of radical experiments. All members had taken the
vow of silence and its nearly impossible to get information about the group's practices, after the sects are disbanded. The film is an
anthology that connects three independent German horror short films, using the mysterious cult of this sect as a wrap-around story. During the film, the dark secrets of the sect are become known. The three chapters of the movie are named after motives from the
