This is a famous historical essay by Italian author Alessandro Manzoni , often published in two volumes. It provides a real-life account of the 1630 plague in Milan and the unjust trial and execution of "untowers" (people accused of spreading the plague).
In history and philosophy, the term is famously linked to Voltaire , who used the slogan "Écrasez l'infâme" (Crush the loathsome thing) in his lifelong campaign against the perceived abuses and intolerance of the organized church.
Set at a Catholic college , the plot centers on a "shameful kiss" and explores themes of gothic horror and underground cult aesthetics. It was written and directed by Matthew Ragsdale and features a highly atmospheric, DIY film style. Historical and Literary References
