The children of these women are irremediably infected by their milk and inherit a terrible atavistic fear. Fausta’s illness manifests itself in the form of haemorrhages or bleeding during moments of crisis or extreme tension.Fausta also keeps a secret she won’t reveal until her mother’s death will unleash a series of unexpected events that will change her life.
