Confessions of Darkness

Description

At the beginning of the film, a sixteen-year-old girl, Scarlett, walks along the railway tracks and has an inner monologue.

The backstory tells of how in the past, the leader of a clan of black magicians separates Nate, Scarlett’s father, from his pregnant wife, Hannah. A year later, Nate receives his daughter along with a note. On Scarlett’s seventh birthday, Nate dies in a fire. This event becomes truly tragic for young Scarlett, as a result of which Vanessa has to find her daughter a psychologist. However, Scarlett and Vanessa do not meet with a psychologist as an unfamiliar woman, but rather with Scarlett’s own mother. Yet, no one truly understands who came to see them, and Hannah’s secrecy is not accidental: she is being watched. Hannah does something important; she gives Scarlett a pendant that will protect the girl from the clan of black magicians.

In the present, we see how Scarlett is tormented by students at school and how she is being isolated by her teachers. Vanessa and her stepdaughter move to the town of Wilford, where Scarlett starts her studies at a new school. The leader of the clan of black magicians, also known as Oliver Jackson, who is the headmaster of the school, takes an interest in the “strange” girl. Scarlett comes to the library after lessons, where she discovers a book with a lock. The library caretaker, Bella, is unable to provide any information about the book. While looking around, Scarlett notices a mysterious figure hiding behind the shelves. At home, she begins to study the mysterious book. Later, she learns astonishing facts about Wilford. Scarlett discusses the unusual book with her new friend, Ivy, who says that they are probably holding the Book of Shadows and that it is meant for witches. Ivy and Scarlett, spending the night together, try to use a spell from the Book of Shadows, but nothing happens. The next day, Scarlett plays the piano at the Philharmonic and heads home in the evening after classes. On the way, she meets three girls who begin to bully her. As a result of her emotional outburst, she inadvertently uses black magic, killing two of the girls. Scarlett is frightened and tells Vanessa. Later, Scarlett becomes fascinated by black magic, discovering magical abilities. When she tries to share her discoveries with her friend Ivy, Ivy reacts hysterically and tells her to end their friendship. After this, Scarlett begins to accept life as it is; her words are, “Well, hello, cruel world.” Soon, Scarlett and her birth mother, Hannah, meet. In their conversation, Scarlett learns of her destiny to be the High Witch, as well as many other intriguing facts. Then, after learning of Vanessa’s death, Scarlett decides to confront Oliver, the leader of the clan of black magicians. Scarlett’s allies are Hannah, Arthur, and Bella. Scarlett then decides to take revenge on her foes by using a special spell.

Did the protagonist defeat Oliver? Did Scarlett get revenge on her enemies? Will Hannah and her daughter stay in Wilford? The film has answers to all these questions.
