Hex

Maja Holand / Norway / 2026 / 92 min

Three young women make an unusual pact: for three years, they intend to radically transform their lives. With no musical experience, they form a black metal band and summon their inner witches onto the stage. What begins as an experiment becomes an uncompromising artistic expression of rage, friendship, and self-empowerment. Through a combination of ritual, humor, and raw stage energy, they defy societal expectations and rigid gender roles, carving out their own space in a scene long dominated by men.
