Franciscan is a young widow paralyzed by the loss of her husband, Koori, who died in combat. Her grief is quickly overshadowed by the crushing weight of traditional customs: the community expects her to be "inherited" by her late husband's brother, Oka. This expectation is fiercely championed by her mother-in-law, Nene, whose animosity and rigid adherence to patriarchy turn Franciscan's home into a space of isolation and despair. Find out her next steps to freedom.
