SYNOPSIS

In Orléans, three medieval female skeletons are discovered in a pit, their hands tied behind their backs and their unusual positions suggesting they may have been buried alive. Anthropologist and archaeologist Laure Ziegler leads an extraordinary investigation to uncover who these women were, why they were killed and why they were buried far from the town cemetery. A nine-century-old cold case shedding rare light on the execution of women in the Middle Ages.
