Recap

In a God-fearing village lying between two rivers, giving birth to a "fačuk" — an illegitimate child — is a mortal sin. Everyone in the village recoils from the young pregnant woman who is about to give birth at any moment. In this narrow-minded and harsh rural environment, fear grows inside her.
