Meanwhile, a young boy, Eden, has been separated from his mother and is begging his captor to let him go so he can find her. In a distant place, Eden's mother hears her son's call for help, insisting she heard his voice, while Eden is silenced by a hostile woman calling him a 'wretched little bastard.' The mother's desperate search is met with the stark reality of her son's captivity.
