Synopsis: 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. When her village discovers her secret, Katalin's husband rejects her. With nothing to lose, she is free to seek revenge on the perpetrators. As she puts human faces to horrible acts, she is forced to consider that morality might not be as black and white as she had imagined.

Yes.

We were wondering if you know of any

places where we could lodge for the night?

I'm afraid I don't,

but If you ask around,

I'm sure you'd find something.

Or if you can wait,

I can ask my wife. If it's okay

with her, you can stay with us.

- Just for one night?

- Yes.

- Where are you from?

- Vrshalom.

- She's joking.

- Vrshalom?

I'm from Jdszereda, the next village.

Really?

I'm Katalin Varga.

Antal Borln.

Szello, come!

Szello, come to drink!

So tell me once more

where you're from?

Visrek.

So why did your mother say,

Vrshalom?

I don't know.

I think your son has found a new friend.

- You don't have children?

- No.

Antal's such a good man

and we love each other very much.

However, we're cursed and we know it.

One of us must have been a sinner.

I don't know.

I can't imagine it being you.

I can't imagine it being Antal either.

Who knows?

Just pray for us, Katalin

and we'll do the same for you

and your mother too.

I think you have enough to pray for

yourselves without worrying about us.

That's enough! He doesn't like

being swung around!

Sorry, I didn't know.

How do you know what I like?

It's not good to be swung

around after a meal.

I beg your pardon, Madam.

It won't happen again.

- You always ruin my fun.

- That's no way to talk to your mother.

- She never lets me do what I like.

- That's not true and you know it.

Come on, Orbn. Your mother

is only looking after you.

Right. Let's play something else.

Are you still not speaking to me?

You don't like that man.

So, obviously, you do as I see.

He's a good man.

You've only just met him.

So have you.

How many years

have you been married?

Seven.

You seem very happy together.

I couldn't ask for a better husband.

He's everything I could want.

Kind,

considerate, strong,

and still handsome.

You're very lucky to have your son.

- He's a very sweet boy.

- Boys are never sweet.

He must miss his father a lot.

He misses my husband, yes.

Orbn doesn't know who

his real father is, thank God.

Orbn's real father raped me.

My God.

Don't be so sorry for me.

Was he caught?

No. I couldn't say anything to

my husband otherwise I'd lose him.

- I had to live with the secret.

- Lord help us. Do you know this man?

Yes.

It was all so sudden.

I was hitchhiking and

two men offered me a ride.

They seemed friendly enough

and it never occurred

to me what they had in mind.

When the car went further and

further off the road,

my stomach jumped.

I tried to reassure myself.

When they stopped at a glade,

I asked them what they were doing.

They said 'why? '

And then I knew I was in trouble.

I wanted to get out of the car.

When I tried, one of the men grabbed
