In a dystopian theocracy called the God State, the Grand Inquisitor and his torturers subject young dissident Penelope to twelve hours of relentless tongue-stretching via a mechanical winch, forcing her aunt Samantha to watch and participate in her humiliation. Their methodical cruelty mocks Penelope’s lost defiance and threatens to destroy her tongue entirely, reducing both women to objects of total dominion. As Penelope’s body finally collapses under the strain, the Grand Inquisitor threatens Samantha with the same mutilation, ending the scene on a cliffhanger of further torment.
