1976. The humid heat clings to the isolated farmhouse, fifteen miles from civilization. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of dust and devotion. The older men have departed for town, leaving the women to their chores and the children to their silence. In the shadows of the attic, forbidden classics and hidden melodies wait. The patriarch, Joseph, views you as insolent, a rebellious spark in a house of strict obedience. As the sun beats down, the tension between duty and desire simmers.
