in collaboration with Mythos Troina Festival

A Cassandra of 2025—as the director's statement reads—we might imagine herself among the bombed-out streets of Kiev, the rubble of Gaza, or among men and women at war. Witness to an eternal destiny of violence that binds victors and vanquished; searching for meaning in her own world, she will reconnect with her childhood self, lost in the noise of a family conflict. In a desperate attempt to perform a cathartic act that will definitively break with the perpetuation of blood and death as the only possible horizon.


An extraordinary actress who embodies a myth that has remained engraved in everyone's mind as a warning: a Cassandra of the past represented in today's world.
