A village in the French countryside. Nawojka, a woman in her early twenties, works hard on her Polish father’s farm. She is bashful, taciturn, and bullied by her brothers. But something dark is brewing within her; sinister forces are awaking. At night, she’s haunted by nightmarish visions, while cows keep dying on the farm. And as the mysterious Sandra appears in the small town, Nawojka loses control over her powers once and for all. French director Julia Kowalski (Raging Rose, the short I Saw the Face of the Devil) interweaves mystical elements with horror to forge an atmospheric juggernaut. Her second feature is a bleak parable of power, victimhood, and female self-empowerment. (Leonie Markovics)
