Living in isolation on her aunt's farm, she grapples with her unwanted situation and the societal pressures that led to her banishment. As she confronts her despair and loss of faith in those around her, Mara faces a profound internal conflict, weighing her options between silence and speaking out, all while navigating the emotional turmoil of impending motherhood.
