Between what one is and what one could be lies nothing less than a thought.
As a matter of fact Jakob is a woman. But in order to prevent the village from being haunted by bad luck the superstitious community forces her to live as a man.
Jakob never questioned her role, not until the day Tom arrived. Even though Tom is branded as an outcast, she offers him work and shelter. And despite the forceful surveillance of the community, they slowly become closer. A closeness the village seeks to prevent – at any cost.
