Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm lying on a wool rug in the temple. The contractions are getting stronger.
00:04My husband, Zeus, holds my hand.
00:07Hold on Leto. You'll see our baby very soon.
00:10I'm sweating from the pain, but I still force a smile for him.
00:15Zeus suddenly lets go of my hand. He takes a step back away from me.
00:19A maid walks in with a bowl of herbal tea. I think it's medicine for the pain.
00:23The liquid flows down my throat. Then I hear Zeus speak.
00:27Make sure the dosage is right. She can't give birth before Hira.
00:32He just looks into a bronze mirror.
00:34Haria's birth passage has opened six fingers. We just need two more hours.
00:38I want to scream and fight back, but the drug is already inside me.
00:43The sharp pain in my belly stops. It feels like a hand is squeezing it.
00:49They drag me to the temple basement. His sister, Demiter, is at the door.
00:54She is playing with a bronze knife.
00:56Sister-in-law, don't blame my brother.
00:58Hira is carrying our older kinsman's son. He is the first grandson of our realm.
01:03Even if you give birth early, it's a girl. A girl is useless to us.
01:08I clutch my stomach in pain. The contractions are fighting the drug.
01:14Everything is turning black.
01:16Call the midwife. I'm giving birth.
01:20Demiter just laughs at me.
01:22Give birth. Not yet.
01:25The drug lasts three more hours.
01:27Hera's already entered the birthing temple.
01:29Just stay here and wait quietly.
01:32Once her son arrives safely, then you can push all you want.
01:36Watch her.
01:36If she screams, gag her.
01:39The heavy door shuts tight.
01:41There is only one dim lamp inside.
01:44Blood has soaked through my dress.
01:47Zeus sent all my maids away on purpose earlier.
01:51He said he didn't want me distracted.
01:54Now I know he wanted me isolated.
01:56I curl up and try to breathe.
01:58I keep thinking about Zeus' eyes.
02:00They were cold and calculating.
02:02He looked at me like an object.
02:04Not a wife or a mother of his child.
02:08Three months ago, his brother died.
02:10He left behind a pregnant widow, Hera.
02:13At the funeral, his father cried.
02:15He held Hira's hand and spoke.
02:17The child must be born safely.
02:20Our divine bloodline must not be strethered.
02:22I felt so sorry for Hira then.
02:25Our child will honor you too.
02:27The old man didn't say a word.
02:29I realize now my child was abandoned then.
02:33Another wave of pain hits me.
02:35It is much stronger than before.
02:38The drug is wearing off.
02:40The baby is coming out now.
02:43I crawl and bang on the door.
02:45Help!
02:46I'm giving birth!
02:48Please save my baby!
02:51There is no sound outside.
02:54I scream until my voice is gone.
02:57Then, a guard speaks impatiently.
02:59Shut up!
03:00Demeter said to wait!
03:01But the baby!
03:03Please!
03:04If it dies, it's just fate.
03:07It's your fault for not having a son.
03:11I collapsed on the floor, freezing.
03:14It's not fate.
03:15They want my baby to die.
03:17I don't know how long I lay there suffering.
03:20I'm bleeding more and more now.
03:22Everything under me is soaked.
03:24Suddenly, the door opens.
03:26It's not Demeter.
03:27It's my temple healer, Alanthos.
03:30Leto?
03:31Why are you here?
03:33Zeus said you were resting!
03:35I try to speak, but no sound comes out.
03:38Alanthos rushes over to check on me.
03:40He gasps when he touches my belly.
03:42Your water's already broken?
03:44You have to give birth now!
03:45He tries to pick me up, but then a wave of warmth gushes out.
03:49Blood?
03:50So much blood!
03:51His hands are shaking as he yells toward the door.
03:54Help!
03:56Someone help!
03:57She's having a massive hemorrhage!
04:00Outside the cellar door?
04:01It's empty.
04:02I'll carry you up.
04:03Stay with me.
04:05He picks me up and runs out.
04:06The path from the cellar feels like it goes on forever.
04:09Every step is pure agony.
04:11I feel the baby dropping down.
04:13But the baby just won't come out.
04:15The drug is still working.
04:17The contractions come and go.
04:19This is the most dangerous moment.
04:23Alanthos, save the baby, please!
04:25Don't talk like that!
04:26You'll pull through!
04:27He finally carries me all the way to the temple.
04:30But we both freeze at the door.
04:32The temple doors are wide open.
04:34The whole place is totally empty.
04:36The servants are all gone.
04:38The midwives are gone too.
04:39The temple is just a hollow shell.
04:42Alanthos freezes on the spot.
04:45How can this be happening?
04:47The midwives were here this afternoon!
04:50Footsteps come from the hallway.
04:52Demeter walks over with two maids.
04:54She sees us and raises an eyebrow.
04:57Alanthos?
04:58What are you doing here?
05:01Leto?
05:02Why did you come up?
05:03Alanthos gazed at the empty temple.
05:05Where are the midwives?
05:08They all went to Hira's side.
05:11Hira is carrying the grandson.
05:13All midwives must attend her.
05:16Who would dare risk a mistake?
05:19Is it time for you, sister-in-law?
05:23You'll have to wait a while.
05:26Hira hasn't finished yet.
05:27Just hold it a bit longer.
05:29I look at her beautiful powdered face.
05:32I remember a trip six months ago.
05:34You're dearer than a real sister.
05:37Thinking about it now, what a joke.
05:41Alanthos frantically searches through everything.
05:44But the cabinets are completely empty.
05:46Where are the herbs to stop the bleeding?
05:48Where's the pain dramp?
05:50Hira gets all resources first.
05:53Zeus ordered it.
05:54Alanthos punches the cabinet in anger.
05:58I'm so sorry, Leto.
06:00There's nothing I can do.
06:02Demeter walks over and pats his shoulder.
06:05Alanthos, don't rush.
06:07She hasn't given birth yet, right?
06:09The midwives will come once Hira is done.
06:12She glances at my stomach and adds,
06:14Even if she does give birth now,
06:16it's just a useless little girl.
06:18If she dies, she dies.
06:22The realm doesn't need another girl.
06:24I stare at her with pure hatred.
06:27I loved her like a sister for three years.
06:30I use every bit of my strength.
06:32Monsters.
06:33Demeter's face suddenly turns cold.
06:36She leans down to my ear.
06:38She whispers very low.
06:39Go ahead, curse me all you want.
06:42After you give birth, you'll be weak.
06:44I'll have plenty of ways to shut you up.
06:46Hira will ascend as queen of the realm.
06:48And as for you, for my brother's sake,
06:52I'll let you live.
06:53You can stay here as a serving maid.
06:56Alanthos can't listen anymore.
06:58Demeter!
06:59This is murder!
07:02Murder?
07:03Alanthos, watch your tongue.
07:05Women die in childbirth all the time.
07:08Isn't that perfectly common?
07:09This is a family matter of the divine house.
07:12You're an outsider, so stay out of it.
07:16Escort Alanthos away to rest.
07:18I'll personally look after my sister-in-law.
07:20They grab Alanthos and drag him out.
07:22Leto, deep breaths!
07:24Don't give up!
07:24The baby can still be saved!
07:26She turns to look at me.
07:28She pulls out the viewing mirror shared with Zeus.
07:30Brother, sister-in-law is giving birth.
07:33Do you want to see her?
07:35Demeter, stop making a scene.
07:37Hera's in a bad shape right now.
07:39The child's life candle is flickering.
07:41Look, she's losing so much blood.
07:43Do you think she's going to die?
07:45Tell her to wait a while.
07:47The midwives will come down once Hyera delivers.
07:50Leto, look after her for now.
07:52I can't leave right now.
07:53You hear that?
07:55Hyera is first in my brother's heart.
07:57You're nothing but a vessel for breeding.
07:59When the vessel has served its purpose, we discard it.
08:02Fear and despair have already swallowed me whole.
08:04I had completely forgotten about this signal disc.
08:07My father gave it to me.
08:09The gods are treacherous, Leto.
08:10If anything happens, press this.
08:14Father, Zeus is so good to me.
08:16Everyone here treats me well.
08:20I press it down gently.
08:22Father said someone will come.
08:24They'll be here within half an hour.
08:26But half an hour is so long.
08:28Can my baby wait that long?
08:30My mind is getting blurrier.
08:32Demeter watches me like I'm a beast in a pen.
08:34Sister, what did you marry into this for?
08:38For my brother's handsome face?
08:39Or the queen's throne?
08:41You're just a mortal woman.
08:43How could you ever hope to stay?
08:45I don't say a word.
08:46I just keep breathing deeply.
08:48Even if hope is very slim, I hope my baby can hold on.
08:51You only wed him because of the child.
08:53He only married you hoping for a son.
08:55But the seeing's pool showed a girl.
08:58My brother's face went black as night.
09:01Luckily, Hyera is carrying a boy.
09:03She flicked my leg disdainfully.
09:05You ought to know your place.
09:07Don't for what isn't yours.
09:09After Hyera delivers, you'll be cast aside.
09:11Go back to the mortal world.
09:12Does Zeus know you talk to me like this?
09:15Of course he knows.
09:17He sent me to talk to you.
09:19He said you're too stubborn.
09:20He wanted me to guide you properly.
09:23The sharp pain hits my belly.
09:25It's stronger than ever before.
09:27The drug has totally ruined him.
09:29The baby is coming.
09:31What a nuisance.
09:34Someone come check her.
09:35Is she delivering or not?
09:38Her birth gate is fully open.
09:40There's far too much blood.
09:43We have to deliver the baby now.
09:45Then just do it.
09:46There's no midwife, no medicine, no tools.
09:49I'm helpless here.
09:51But the mother and the baby, they're in real danger now.
09:54Let them be in danger.
09:56They're going to die anyway.
09:58Why should anyone care?
09:59Demeter turns and walks away.
10:01She doesn't care if I live or die.
10:03The maid is too paralyzed to speak.
10:06I've lost too much blood.
10:08The baby is stuck right there.
10:10Time is slipping away.
10:12Suddenly, fast footsteps approach.
10:15Suddenly, the door is savagely kicked open.
10:19Who are you?
10:20How did you get in?
10:22The leader takes off his helmet.
10:24My lady.
10:26My lady.
10:29I try to speak, but no sound comes.
10:32I just reach out my hand to him.
10:35How dare you lay hands on me?
10:37This is the house of Zeus.
10:40The house of Zeus?
10:42Soon, there will be no house of Zeus.
10:46Begin emergency treatment.
10:47Yes, sir.
10:52I'm carried into a modified chariot.
10:54It has everything, like a mobile healing temple.
10:58The healers and witches are working frantically around me.
11:03Feetal distress.
11:05Use the forbidden spell.
11:06But the mother is too weak for it.
11:08Do it!
11:09I will take all the responsibility.
11:11I grab his hand with my last strength.
11:14Save the baby.
11:17Save my baby first.
11:19My lady, don't speak.
11:20Save your strength.
11:22The general is already on his way.
11:24You and the child will both be alright.
11:26I swear.
11:29Use the spell now!
11:36The baby's life candle is fading too.
11:39Begin the rescue.
11:40Do it now!
11:43A circle of light covers my body.
11:46Healing incantations surround me on all sides.
11:50Before I pass out, I hear a cry.
11:53No, it's too late!
11:55The baby has no pulse!
11:57Darkness.
11:58Endless darkness.
11:59I don't know how long it's been.
12:01My lady's awake!
12:03Familiar faces lean over me.
12:05They're my father's personal guards.
12:07Where's the baby?
12:09The room goes silent immediately.
12:12Then my father slowly walks over.
12:15My father looks so much older now.
12:17His hair has turned white overnight.
12:19Later.
12:20I look at his red eyes.
12:22I already know the answer.
12:24The baby's gone, isn't it?
12:26The placenta, it tore.
12:29The baby went without air too long.
12:32They all did their best.
12:34I don't cry or scream.
12:36My heart just feels empty.
12:39That little life inside me for nine months.
12:42The baby who kicked me every day.
12:45Gone.
12:45Where's Zeus?
12:47Father wipes away his tears.
12:49He's with Hyra.
12:50She gave birth to a son.
12:51The whole realm is celebrating.
12:53No one even remembers you.
12:56Good!
12:57That's real good!
12:58Leto, come home with me.
13:00The divine realm doesn't deserve you.
13:02That man doesn't deserve you.
13:04Father, I want to do something.
13:06Tell me.
13:07Prepare a false corpse for me.
13:09It has to look exactly like me.
13:11The appearance of death from massive blood loss.
13:15You want to?
13:16I want them to think I'm dead.
13:17I want to watch them celebrate with my own eyes.
13:20While I'm dead to them.
13:22While they welcome their new life.
13:25Father is silent for a long time.
13:27Very well, I'll help you.
13:28Father summons a witch who works a transformation spell.
13:32The decoy body, made from sheepskin and sheep's blood, is kept warm by hidden warming stones beneath it.
13:40Its living heat feels just like real flesh.
13:43They lay it in the garden courtyard.
13:45I stare into the scrying crystal.
13:48Watching the scene inside.
13:49Father sits beside me.
13:51He holds my hand tight.
13:53Do you regret it?
13:55Regret what?
13:56Marrying that man.
13:58No.
13:58I see their true hearts now.
14:00In the crystal, Zeus walks out of the temple.
14:04He holds the swaddled baby.
14:06His face beaming with unstoppable joy.
14:09Hyra is on a moving bed.
14:10She's pale but smiling.
14:12The old man walks over.
14:14Leaning on his staff.
14:15He cries when he sees the baby.
14:18A grandson.
14:19At last.
14:22Our bloodline is secure now.
14:24Everyone gathers around them.
14:26They're all laughing.
14:27No one asks about me.
14:29No one remembers the other mother.
14:31The one still struggling on the edge of life and death.
14:34A maid finally speaks up.
14:36My lord, what of your wife?
14:39How is she doing?
14:40No word yet.
14:42I had Alancus keep watch over her.
14:44I'll go check.
14:46He hands the baby to a maid.
14:48Demeter follows right behind him.
14:50Brother, I'll go with you.
14:51Alanthos stands by the door.
14:53His face is deathly pale.
14:55Where is my wife?
14:56Alanthos replied in silence.
14:58Then gestured toward the flower beds.
15:00What does that mean?
15:01By the time I get back, the lady is already...
15:04Too much blood lost.
15:07Leto is...
15:10Zeus stands there in shock.
15:12Demeter reacts first.
15:14Impossible.
15:15She was so healthy.
15:17Alanthos gives Demeter a loaded glance.
15:19He lets out a sigh, his voice breaking.
15:22No midwife.
15:24No medicine.
15:25No tools.
15:28What did you say?
15:30My wife is dead!
15:31Alanthos nods.
15:33Tears falling.
15:34He slumped against the pillar.
15:36Impossible.
15:37Demeter pulls on his arm.
15:39Don't fret, brother.
15:40I'll go check.
15:41She runs toward the flower bed.
15:45She sees the decoy body among the flowers.
15:49Demeter stares for a few seconds.
15:52Brother, it's true.
15:55Zeus rushes into the garden.
15:57He stands in front of the flowers, completely still.
16:00After a long while...
16:02Brother...
16:03Zeus slammed both fists against the ground.
16:10Why didn't you tell me sooner?
16:13Why didn't she wait for me?
16:16I couldn't reach you at all.
16:18Then why didn't you come up and find me?
16:20The distance is only a hundred paces.
16:23You just stood by and watched her die!
16:26Alanthos, stop speaking.
16:28Brother, don't blame Alanthos.
16:31I was the one who stopped him.
16:32Hera's situation was so perilous.
16:34I feared any distraction.
16:37Brother, you struck me.
16:39You locked her in the cellar?
16:42I only told her to wait.
16:44Wait for what?
16:45That was your sister-in-law.
16:47Those were two lives.
16:49I told you to look after her properly.
16:51Is this how you looked after her?
16:53I did it for the realm.
16:55Harriah bore a son.
16:57She bore a daughter.
16:58You know full well which one matters more.
17:00Grandfather declared the boy is the heir.
17:03The heir.
17:04So her life meant nothing.
17:06No one answers him.
17:08Only the wind whispers through the courtyard.
17:11My body is brought back to a chamber in the side wing.
17:14Hyra and her baby stay in the main suite.
17:17Maids and guards surround them.
17:19Keep the funeral rules simple.
17:21Don't let it bring ill fortune upon the child.
17:25Find a priest to bless her another day.
17:27She was the wife of this house after all.
17:30Choose a decent grave for her.
17:33Zeus doesn't say a word.
17:35He just sits by Leto's body.
17:37Three days and nights pass.
17:39He doesn't eat or drink.
17:40Demeter tries to speak with him.
17:42He drives her out of the room.
17:44Hyra comes once with the baby.
17:46Zeus.
17:48Please temper your grief.
17:50She wouldn't wish to see you like this.
17:53He stares for a long time.
17:55Do you know what she was thinking before she died?
17:58I was in labor.
17:59How could I know?
18:01She was thinking why wasn't her husband there?
18:04Why everyone was waiting for your baby.
18:06But no one cared whether she lived or died.
18:10Hyra's face goes very white.
18:12Zeus, what do you mean by that?
18:15My own labor was life or death too!
18:18Yes, you suffered too.
18:20But she is dead.
18:22Two lives are gone.
18:24Did she deserve to die just because it wasn't a boy?
18:27Hyra stops talking.
18:28She holds the baby tighter.
18:31Zeus stands up slowly.
18:32He walks to the coffin.
18:33Lately I keep thinking if I had stayed by her side.
18:38Would things have turned out differently?
18:40Would she still be alive now?
18:45If only...
18:46Hyra bites her lip hard.
18:48Zeus, don't you forget this.
18:50I'm the one who bore the sun.
18:51That dead woman is of no use any longer.
18:56Zeus slides down against the coffin.
18:58He sits on the floor.
18:59He covers his face with his hands.
19:01I see his shoulders shaking.
19:03It's so ridiculous.
19:05He didn't care while I lived.
19:07Now he weeps for the dead.
19:08I press the viewing mirror and contact my father.
19:11Ready?
19:12Whenever you wish.
19:14Things start crumbling for Zeus.
19:16First, the city-states stop sending trivia.
19:19Your offerings have defiled the secret pact.
19:22Zeus sends envoys to investigate.
19:24But the city-states refuse to parley.
19:27Then the temple banks start calling in their loans.
19:29The blood oaths of renewed alliance had all been set.
19:32But suddenly the high priests declare bad omens.
19:35The signs are ill.
19:37The alliance cannot be renewed.
19:40The flow of gold dries up fast.
19:42Then the allied kingdoms turn their backs.
19:44Great pacts dissolve without warning.
19:46They sign new treaties with his rivals instead.
19:48In just one single minute, Zeus' realm loses a third of its territory in tribute.
19:53Zeus' father collapses and is taken to the healing shrine.
19:57He's completely worn out.
19:59Hyra complains while holding the baby.
20:02You're always gone now.
20:04Father is ill.
20:05The temple treasury's in crisis.
20:06How can I not care?
20:07If the treasury fails, let it fail.
20:10We have enough wealth for many lifetimes.
20:12Do you know how this realm was built?
20:15It took three generations of blood and toil.
20:18My grandfather, my father, and my brother.
20:20It didn't just fall from the sky.
20:22You still can't neglect us.
20:24The baby isn't even a full moon old.
20:26And you're never home.
20:27Zeus slams the door and leaves.
20:29He goes to the chamber in the side wing.
20:31The coffin is still there.
20:34Leto, what would you tell me?
20:36You'd say, don't worry.
20:38You'd say, take it slowly.
20:41You were always so calm and so wise.
20:45But I have no one to talk to now.
20:48Father just scolds me all day.
20:51Hera only wants gold.
20:53Demida only cares about herself.
20:56Only you never ask for anything.
21:00You always wanted to help me.
21:02I'm so sorry.
21:05I'm truly sorry.
21:07I didn't know it would come to this.
21:11If I could do it all over, I would-
21:13A god rushes in.
21:14Zeus!
21:15Calamity has struck.
21:17The underworld has seized our tribute convoy.
21:19The amount is enormous.
21:21They may bring formal charges before the divine tribunal.
21:24Forbidden relics?
21:25Zeus!
21:25That's impossible!
21:26Our house deals an honorable tribute.
21:29It's true!
21:30Apollo has arrived at the temple treasury.
21:32He says he wants to question you himself!
21:34He races toward the treasury hall.
21:37On the road, his viewing mirror suddenly lights up.
21:40There is only a voice.
21:42No image.
21:43Zeus, did you receive my gift?
21:46Who are you?
21:47You don't need to know my name.
21:49Just know this is only the beginning.
21:53You will pay with your entire realm.
21:56Every debt you owe must be repaid.
21:59Zeus tries to wake it again.
22:01But there is only dead silence.
22:04The divine tribunal's inquiry lasts a full fortnight.
22:08The case is closed for lack of evidence.
22:10But all the tribute goods are confiscated.
22:13His house's reputation is utterly ruined.
22:16All allies choose to dissolve their blood earths.
22:20Zeus' father suffers a second collapse.
22:22At the end, he grabs Zeus' hand.
22:26Save the realm.
22:29The boy is the heir.
22:32He breathes his last right after speaking.
22:35The funeral rites are very simple.
22:38Very few guests actually show up.
22:40Most are just there to mock them.
22:43Haira stands there weeping loudly.
22:45She holds the baby at the temple.
22:48Is she mourning her father-in-law?
22:50Or mourning her lost shelter?
23:01Zeus shows no emotion at all.
23:03After the rites, the guests disperse.
23:06You should move out.
23:07What did you say?
23:08Take the child and go.
23:10I'll give you a chest of gold talents.
23:12It's enough to sustain you for life.
23:14Zeus!
23:14What is the meaning of this?
23:16I'm your elder sister-in-law.
23:18This child is your brother's only son.
23:20Your father declared him the heir.
23:22The heir?
23:23He asks.
23:24There's almost no realm left.
23:25What is he going to inherit?
23:27My mountain of sacred debts?
23:29Are you abandoning us?
23:31I'm giving you gold talents.
23:32That is, looking after you.
23:33But I'm keeping the ancestral house.
23:35It holds my memories of Leto.
23:37I won't give it to anyone.
23:38Memories?
23:39She mocks him.
23:40Stop lying to yourself, Zeus.
23:43You never loved that woman.
23:44You only feel guilty now because she died such a gruesome death.
23:48That's why your conscience aches.
23:50If she were still alive, you would have cast her aside long ago
23:53and taken me as your wife.
23:55Hold your tongue.
23:56I will speak.
23:58You married her for her family's power.
24:00She was clean and easy to control.
24:02You said you would put her aside right after she gave birth.
24:06Now she's dead, it's even easier.
24:08You should be thanking for this.
24:11My son's destiny overpowered her.
24:14Another loud slap.
24:16It's heavier than the one who gave Demeter.
24:19Zeus looks down at her coldly.
24:21Get out.
24:23Right now, leave.
24:26If I ever set eyes on you again, you won't get a single coin.
24:34You will regret this.
24:36Hyra leaves with her son.
24:38She takes a chest of gold talents.
24:41Zeus stands in the empty courtyard.
24:43He looks at his father's funerary portrait.
24:47Father, I can't hold on any longer.
24:51The realm is going to be destroyed in my hands.
24:54There's no answer at all.
24:56Only the wind rushes through the hanging white cloth,
24:58making a loud rustling sound.
25:00The wind rushes through the hanging white cloth.
