When the wife of a farmer gives birth to their fourth daughter, father decides that the child will be brought up to become a so-called "Virgina" and that she will live as a man, so that she can work and be the family heir. This heartbreaking story of Virginas life is told with strong words, augmented with harsh inviroment.
