The movie takes place
in the Appalachian Mountains. She knows he hides in
a cave in Dead Mans mountain. She searchs and searchs and finally
finds
him. Cadi brought wine and bread to feed him. She lays on the ground
with a shroud over her and he came over to her to absolve her of
her sins.
Afterward she says she felt the same. "How do I get rid of
what I did?",
she says.
She goes over to the
river and walks on the tree trunk over the river and
wants to jump. But a man catches her and asks her what would make
her do
this to herself. She reveals her dark secret and her sense of guilt.
Behind the long held
