Movie Synopsys:

This is a from the end of the 19th century. It took place in a isolated village near the Adriatic Sea.

Because of the extreme patriarchal culture there is a superstition that families without male heirs are cursed. When the wife of a farmer gives birth to their fourth daughter, it was decided that the child will become a so-called “Virgina” and that she will live as a man, so that she can work and be the family heir.

This heartbreaking story of Virginas life is told with strong words, augmented with harsh inviroment.
