Fiction

Together with her husband, she came to build an utopian world in the middle of pure nature. Helena, the pregnant wife of the factory manager, is about to give birth and her family is facing a rosy future in a modern city. But all her illusions will soon perish. All it takes is the dead body of a new-born hermaphrodite to be found in the middle of their factory. Helena needs to find out what happened here for the safety of her own child, but she runs into her own prejudices. The story is inspired by the true story of intersex people in the 1930s, shortly before the war destroyed everything.
