Eva,Januara and the Lilac

Datia

In a village sunken like a furnace mouth, the snow is never white for long. Every January, the villagers follow their priest to the river to wash away a year’s worth of cruelty, lust, and blood. They believe the water is holy, yet the moment the ritual ends, the fighting resumes. In this valley, inhumanity is the most human trait of all. Eva, Januara, and the Lilac is a haunting, visceral tale of three broken lives.
