Anna plans to escape her stifling provincial life, but a ghostly encounter causes a delay. A poignant tale of departure, set in the Styrian countryside and with strong ties to the genre tropes of the uncanny and the grotesque.

In 1750 Austria, a deeply religious woman named Agnes has just married her beloved, but her mind and heart soon grow heavy as her life becomes a long list of chores and expectations. Day after day, she is increasingly trapped in a murky and lonely path leading to evil thoughts, until the possibility of committing a shocking act of violence seems like the only way out of her inner prison.
