Maremma (2026)

Deep within a secluded village where time-honored customs rule every facet of life, the Festival of the Maremma Goddess stirs a blend of devotion and dread. Once every twelve years, a male bull is offered as a sacrifice to appease the deity—yet calamity has struck the villagers without fail after every ritual. The village elders, despite their best efforts, have never managed to avert the ensuing misfortune. Resolved to shatter this tragic pattern, they issue a bold new edict: any family whose bull sires a male calf within the next hundred days must surrender the animal to the goddess. As the final days tick away, the entire village teeters on the edge of destiny, and the ultimate trial of their determination is about to unfold.
