"Tell me, mummy...is it true that you've gone mad?" asks Mina's daughter. In this way the long process towards the cause of her pain begins, a journey which delves into the depths of her memory and into her subconscious, in search of a reality which she refuses to face: the fact that her husband is raping his own daughter.
