In a God-fearing village lying between two rivers, giving birth to a fachuk — an illegitimate child — is a mortal sin. Everyone in the village recoils from the young pregnant woman who is about to give birth at any moment. In this narrow-minded and harsh environment, fear grows inside her. The contractions begin, a storm rises, a grave is being dug. The nightmarish birth opens the door to a world of sin and immorality. The once calm rivers turn into a destructive flood that completely wipes out the village. From that abyss, new life begins to sprout.
