Trama
Set in the mid-17th century, 'Baby of Mâcon' revolves around a church play performed for an aristocrat named Cosimo. The play features a grotesque old woman giving birth to a beautiful baby boy. The child's older sister exploits this spectacle by selling blessings from the baby and claiming she is its virgin mother. She subsequently attempts to seduce the bishop's son, resulting in severe repercussions from the Church.
