15-year-old Emma–pregnant after a rape–fights for autonomy within her repressive Protestant village in 1940s Switzerland. Bound by social and religious expectations, she learns to survive through quiet acts of resistance: a secret book, a hidden truth, a defiant choice. Her struggle reflects the unseen battles of generations of women whose “silent” rebellions shaped the path.
