Synopsis

A factory manager and his wife have raised their three children in absolute isolation. The offspring, who are now in their teens and early twenties, have never been allowed outside their house, and their knowledge of the outside world has been rigidly controlled by their parents who have purposely given them a skewed view of reality. The one outsider who comes into the home is Christina, a factory worker who is allowed in to have sex with the son. But during one visit, Christina's interaction with the two younger daughters sets events in motion that bring horrible consequences for all of them.
