Synopsis

Thessaly Kampos 1958. Three sisters. A forced marriage. A rape. A murder and a big secret. After the death of their father, ELENI, ASIMINA and DROSO try to survive in the harsh, patriarchal society of the Thessalian Plain. DOUKAS, the landowner of the area, wants to marry his son, SERGIO, to the eldest of the three sisters, in order to pass the girls' estates into his hands. Helen accepts the proposal, with a heavy heart, as the only salvation for their debts. On the night of the wedding, the three sisters paint their hands with blood. They kill the groom in an attempt to prevent him from raping their younger sister. They swear to take the secret to their grave. The discovery of the body, however, will shock the local community and change all the facts. Helen, Asilina and Droso must do everything to prevent the truth from being revealed. Will they make it? The “all-powerful” family of the victim is looking for the real culprit and demands revenge. What well-hidden secrets, from the past, will be retracted and overturn it all?
