Part 3/8:
Kirke’s father, Gustavs, and a nearby farmhand, Jancuks, see Sam’s presence as a threat and mistake his strength for potential. What follows is a brutal initiation into farm life, where Sam is chained like livestock and subjected to the whims of Gustavs and Jancuks. Desperation mounts as he tries to maintain his humanity amid the degradation.
The Struggle for Freedom
As days pass, Sam is faced with the dehumanizing dynamics of the ranch. Despite his pleas for help and thinly veiled rebellion, he finds himself caught between the cruelty of his captors and a fractured bond with Kirke, who struggles with her own loyalties.
