Hush my little baby, hush my little one, for I will build our wooden hut beneath the setting sun, beneath the golden stars my love, there in the sleeping fields, I’ll sing to you, I’ll sing to you, while you sweetly dream. Yerma is a young woman struggling with an unhappy, unfulfilled marriage and an obsessive compulsion to have a baby. The social stigma of being childless exacerbates her sadness and desperation and ultimately leads her to commit an act of horrific violence. Does Yerma destroy all her hopes for the future or has she set herself free?
