Part 4/7:
A Macabre Transformation
As Virginie's actions take a grotesque turn, she becomes embroiled in a cycle of feeding the locusts from her own wounds, leading to a troubling transformation. The locusts grow larger and more numerous, prompting her to exploit this newfound power for profit. She fabricates stories to cover her increasingly dangerous practices, hiring Kareem to help expand the farm.
However, the success comes at a steep price. Virginie’s escalating obsession alienates her from her children, especially as Laura attempts to intervene and confront their horrific reality. After a heartbreaking incident where a beloved pet goat is killed by the locusts, the mother-daughter relationship reaches a breaking point.
