The true story revolves around Clara Maure Ob, a woman born in Czechoslovakia in 1975, and her younger sister, Catherine. Both were obsessed with Christian and esoteric themes. Clara married and had two children, but her husband left her due to her unstable and violent personality. Clara's sister, Catherine, and a woman named Barbora, who had a rare disease that made her appear as a 12-year-old girl despite being 33, became close friends and moved in with Clara.
Barbora, who had psychopathic and schizophrenic traits, manipulated Clara and Catherine, introducing them to the Grail movement, a cult that advocated for absolute social anarchy. Barbora controlled the household, and Clara began to treat her children cruelly, influenced by Barbora's manipulation.
The children, Andrés and Llach, were locked in an iron cage, tortured, and eventually cannibalized by Clara, Catherine, and Barbora, following the orders of the cult's leader, known as "the Doctor." The abuse was discovered in 2007 when a neighbor, who had purchased the same surveillance camera as Barbora, accidentally intercepted footage of the children being tortured.
The police arrested Clara and Catherine, while Barbora escaped and fled to Norway, where she posed as a 13-year-old boy and was adopted by a couple. However, she was eventually caught and extradited to Czechoslovakia to face trial.
Clara and Catherine were sentenced to 9 and 10 years in prison, respectively, while Barbora and three other cult members received only 5-year sentences. Barbora was granted parole in 2012 and released, but her whereabouts remain unknown.
