Plot.
A family, consisting of the grandmother, the mother and her two children, a daughter and a son, seems to raise them in a different way compared to the rest of society. The teenage children, Orestes and Danae, still have the innocence of childhood, without knowing the outside world. In combination with the embrace of a religion, this Goddess of snakes and the control of the mother and grandmother over the children, we understand that the power of the family lies with the women. The family peace is disturbed when they catch Orestes masturbating. The mother and grandmother understand that childhood innocence has been lost and it is time for Orestes and Danae to enter the process of adulthood, as they know it. The roles change, Danae is “educated” differently by Orestes, who is treated more like a reproduction machine than as a human whole. Will Orestes withstand these changes? How dangerous is his family to him?
