Her Stepdaughter
A drama about maternal love. Her Stepmother tells the story of the respected, devoted but strict Kostelnička, who tries to protect her stepdaughter Jenůfa from shame and suffering. When she discovers that Jenůfa is expecting a child with Števa, a reckless young man who has no intention of marrying her, she decides to take action. In an effort to protect the girl’s honour and ensure a better future for her, she commits a terrible act in desperation. While for Kostelnička the tragic decision is devastating and calls into question all the morals she has believed in until now, Jenůfa ultimately finds reconciliation, understanding, and love.
