A horse butcher and his lover have a child. Shortly afterwards, the mother leaves the family and the father raises his daughter alone. The years pass and the daughter still does not speak a word. Her father finds it increasingly difficult to resist a temptation. At 14, Cynthia has her first period. Seeing the bloodstain on her dress, the butcher believes a worker has raped her. It is the beginning of a dizzying spiral of violence.
