Her efforts to clear the sailor's name lead her to confront friends and family, igniting a series of personal conflicts.
In order to show how justice unfolds in an environment marked by fear and tradition, the plot oscillates between collective madness and an intense quest for redemption. As the bonds of trust are shattered and the village becomes polarized, the line between good and evil becomes increasingly blurry, leaving the characters and audience questioning who is truly guilty.
