A vicar's stiff predicament in 1810s Sweden, courtesy of a witch's curse and some spirited local intervention.
THE LUSTFUL VICAR
Cursed With a Curious Condition...
A witch's daughter take revenge on a vicar and bewitches him so that he suffers constant erection.
Proof that even in 1810s Sweden, nobody wants to be the talk of the parish for the wrong reasons.
When the daughter of a burned witch delivers a supernatural comeuppance to the new vicar, the result is a bawdy comedy that’s anything but pious. Torgny Wickman puts Swedish small-town life through a ribald 1810s lens, complete with witch trials, priapic curses, and more than a little nudity.

Synopsis
Why Cult
The plot kicks off with a seventeenth-century witch burning and a supernatural curse that haunts the town's clergy generations later.
A witch's revenge leads to the vicar’s, ahem, persistent problem—a comedic premise that plays out with plenty of awkward encounters.
Expect R-rated antics, female nudity, and irreverent humor as the townsfolk try to break the vicar’s curse.
Set in the 1810s, the film mixes local Swedish color with period costumes and rural mischief.
