Devout Christians Töre and Märeta send their only daughter, the virginal Karin, and their foster daughter, the unrepentant Ingeri, to deliver candles to a distant church. On their way through the woods, the girls encounter a group of savage goat herders who brutally rape and murder Karin as Ingeri remains hidden. When the killers unwittingly seek refuge in the farmhouse of Töre and Märeta, Töre plots a fitting revenge.
Can a soul find redemption after witnessing an unspeakable act of violence in the wilderness? This stark medieval fable uses chilling imagery and silent tension to examine the brutal collision between innocence and human cruelty.
