Plot

A troubled marriage fueled by the husband's jealousy, abuse, and financial struggles takes a dark turn as he becomes increasingly controlling, and subjects his wife to unbearable torment.

Sinekatalog’s take

A harrowing domestic drama that traces a marriage sliding into control and abuse. It is serious, uncompromising and humane toward its heroine. Hard to watch, but powerful for those open to social-issue dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
