Soon rumours about Jana are spread and resonate extremly loud in a small city like Monchique. They impute pregnancy and abortion, which was forbidden in Portugal until 2007. Jana locks herself up at home and drops out of school. To hide her hurt and insecurity she builds a big wall of silence around herself.
