A forbidden relationship is dragged into the open for all to see. The father-in-law's secret can no longer be hidden, and the moment it's exposed in public, the air in the house changes completely. The cowardly husband stands frozen, daring neither to rage nor to speak; in the daughter-in-law's eyes there is the calm of awakening, and also the trace of having already fallen. Once carnal desire overpowers morality, what's left of the so-called family is nothing but the most primal possession and submission.
