Motherwitch (Greek: Δωδεκάμερον) is a 2026 gothic folk horror fantasy film directed by Minos Papas and co-written by Evripidis Dikaios and Nikolas Kouroumtzis.
Eleni, a painter in Cyprus in 1882, reaches into the shadows to resurrect her lost children, but instead summons the ancient Kalikantzari of Cypriot lore. She must now confront the storm of her grief and anger, and lift the curse.[1]
