A darkly comic portrait of a woman's transgressive self-liberation through sexuality, using exploitation as both survival and retribution against a hypocritical small-town society.

Treated as an outcast and exploited by the villagers of a small town, a young woman liberates herself through sex, which she uses as a tool of economic gain and an instrument of revenge against those who have wronged her.
