Fidela is the village witch: she treats evil jinx and gives birth to all children belonging to others, but never to hers. It is the rule: no man can touch her. All she’s allowed to do, is adopting another seventh born girl like her, to preserve her knowlegde. And when Bastiana, illegitimate daughter, will become “hers”, all the ancient dogmas will no longer make sense, because Fidela will discover, thanks to their contrast, the sudden beauty to be finally MOTHER and WOMAN, like anyone else. In a timeless place made by observing pointed eyes, when sexual and intimate things happen only in the darkness, Bastiana will start a silent but powerful revolution able to unmask every vice of the human soul.
