“Ravished innocence... brings terrible revenge!”
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.
This is a stark, emotionally devastating journey into the darkest corners of human nature and divine reckoning. It feels ancient and raw, a meditation on faith, vengeance, and the profound weight of moral choices. The atmosphere is relentlessly somber, yet imbued with a haunting, almost spiritual, beauty.
