In this feature debut from filmmaker Peter Strickland (In Fabric, The Duke of Burgundy), a woman travels the mountainside with her son searching for revenge.
"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." (Santa Barbara International Film Festival)
