Description

The first part of the movie (first 40 minutes) takes place in an orphanage where an elderly doctor and his protege deliver babies and perform abortions. About 20 minutes in, they find a very sick girl. The doctor finds out, by examining her, that a so-called doctor tried to perform a failed abortion on her: the punctured fetus is still inside her uterus along with a foreign object. She dies off-screen. At some point during the first part of the movie, soldiers on a train inappropriately touch a young girl (off-screen) who was teasing them (from outside of the train): she rebuffs them. About 1:30:00 into the movie, it is revealed that a father has been having sex with his adult daughter and got her pregnant. When confronted about it, the father gets angry and says that he loves her and would not harm her. The woman, visibly distressed, tries to flee at night, but he forces her to stay. The protagonist then performs an abortion on her in precarious conditions, while the father assists him. After that, she eventually flees (off-screen) and stabs her father when he tries to stop her: he additionnally stabs himself to death and lets her go.
