Plot

Set against the ethereal backdrop of the Carpathian Mountains, Katalin Varga embarks on a chilling journey, with her young son Órban in tow, seeking retribution against those who violated her innocence. For years, Katalin has guarded a haunting secret, the brutal rape she endured while hitchhiking with two strangers in the wilderness. Her silence, however, did not equate to forgetfulness, with her son serving as a constant, living testament to her ordeal. When the veil of secrecy is abruptly lifted, her village turns its back on her, and her husband coldly abandons her. With her life unceremoniously stripped away, Katalin is propelled to exact vengeance on her tormentors. As she faces the men behind her heart-wrenching past, Katalin is confronted with the grim realization that the lines separating right and wrong may not be as rigid as she once believed. This haunting narrative spotlights her harrowing quest for justice, painting a poignant portrait of a woman wrestling with the complexities of morality and retribution.
