Synopsis: The forest ranger`s wife dies and he is extremely affected by this tragic event. His suffering is amplified by the lonely life spent in the middle of the forest and he starts having strong states of melancholy and mental turmoil. He decides seeing a witch, in case he had spells put on him, but she does not make him feel any better. His salvation comes from a wise old man who tells him he has the Bear Eye mark, meaning he had the Devil inside and had to say many prayers and read many psalms in order to be sane again.
