A dark, meditative revenge thriller set in the Carpathian Mountains that explores trauma, maternal burden, and the moral weight of retribution through a woman's journey to confront her rapists.

In the beautiful, otherworldly Carpathian Mountains a woman is traveling with a small boy in a horse and cart, looking to punish those who once abused her. For years, Katalin has been keeping a terrible secret. Hitchhiking with two men, she was brutally raped in the woods. Although she has kept silent about what happened, she has not forgotten, and her son Órban serves as a living reminder.
