Summary
[Mis à jour le 28 août 2023 à 20h03] The return to television begins on France 2. The second channel is broadcasting the first two episodes of Les Filles du feu, its mini-series in event costumes, this Monday August 28 from 9:10 p.m. The faithful of La Deux will follow a family of healers hunted down by a judge commissioned to bring down “witches” in the Basque Country during the 17th century.
If the series of France 2 deals with accusations of witchcraft, the series “Girls of fire” remains inspired by a true story. In 1609, Judge Pierre de Rosteguy de Lancre was sent to the Basque Country by King Henri IV to investigate accusations of witchcraft. In four months, there would have been between 60 and 80 executions and hundreds of witness hearings, reports the study of the Review of the Bayonne Museum published in 1938. Nevertheless, the three Elissalde sisters are completely invented by the screenwriters for the purposes of fiction.
Synopsis – In 1609, the Elissalde sisters were heirs to a family of healers from the Basque Country. Jeannette, the eldest, refuses to take over from her mother, while Catherine manages a prosperous maritime business, and Morguy has difficulty finding her place in this family. But a lord commissions judge Pierre de Lancre to orchestrate a witch hunt in the Basque Country, threatening the balance and the life of the Elissaldes.
