Alicja is a teenager when her father begins molesting her, cutting her off from her peers, ending her middle school education, and locking her in a room—sometimes without a doorknob, for days at a time. Around the age of eighteen, she gives birth to her own father's child: a boy who is biologically both her son and brother. Her mother finds a diary detailing her daughter's abuse, but she doesn't report it—she begins to treat Alicja as a rival. The school, hospitals, and police repeatedly keep an eye on the family, even after a report of a man breaking down a door with an axe, but no one connects the dots. In this episode, I'll tell how the girl was imprisoned and abused for years in a house across the street from a cemetery, and what happened when, at age twenty-one, she finally began to speak out.
