Inga is a hard-working farmer within a bureaucratic co-operative that operates as a monopoly, pushing her and her community deep into debt. After her husband's suspicious death, Inga learns the true extent of both her powerlessness and her late husband’s involvement with the co-op’s schemings. With an eye to the future, and with no other option, she aims to chip away at the co-op’s domination.
