Kata

Kata is a nurse from the oncological department of the Reykjavik hospital, and for her life I saw a lot of pain and suffering. But they were strangers, not her ... What was real suffering, she realized when her daughter disappeared without a trace, and then, a year later, they found the girl’s body. The identities of probable rapists and killers - and there were three of them - were determined quite quickly, but there was nothing to show them: there were no direct evidence. And then Kata, standing on the verge of despair and madness, decided that it makes no sense to wait for retaliation from God or the state. What exactly is she - a punishing sword of justice ...
Our world is cruel and dangerous. But there is nothing more dangerous than a woman who was forced to defend herself ...
