Synopsis
Julia is a 25-year-old orphan with two children and a husband, She has never been to college and is unemployed, yet she dedicates her life to everyday medicine: she cures bunions, sore backs and sore souls, She even does abortions when the pregnancy is recent. But Julia is lonely. She has no friends, no family, no roots. The city took them away from her. Julia has only her children, and her husband. Or so she thought. For one day, she finds herself without a husband. And when he goes, she loses her home, her her pride and her dignity -- the passion she once had for healing soon turns to vengeance.
