THE VOW

In a fishing village, a young couple of newly-weds, both deeply religious, find themselves unable to consummate the marriage due to a chastity vow the young man made when his father almost died during a shipwreck. And now they live in a permanent state of tension, increased by the presence of a gypsy that they shelter under their roof. A violent drama explodes at the end.
