In a country ravaged by war, Adriana, a passionate young woman, becomes pregnant after being raped. Her sister tries to convince her not to keep the child, but Adriana replies, “This is my son, not the rapist’s. He will look like me!” But she lives in a state of doubt, wondering for years whether her son Jonas, whose blood of both the victim and the executioner runs in his veins, will turn into Cain or Abel.
Jonas, as a young man, vows to kill his father. His mother watches him go, trying not to dissuade him. She waits for his return to tell him, “That man deserved to die, but you, my son, do not deserve to become a murderer.” It’s a beautiful story.
