A visual and musical journey through the fragility and metamorphosis of a woman, suspended between childhood and destiny. Among ruins, mirrors and opera voices, memories intertwine with nightmares and revelations: the child at play, the forced bride, the rebellious dancer, the crumbling soul. Each scene echoes itself, each step a fragment of transformation. A wordless tale, where images and famous arias merge to portray the struggle, fall and rebirth of an identity.

BIOGRAPHY OF THE DIRECTOR
Marco Reale was born in Naples in 1977. At 16, a school performance gave him the opportunity to discover the fire and pain of the stage, and he hasn't stopped since. After nine years of amateur work with various companies, he moved to Rome to train professionally. There, he also developed an interest in directing. The next ten years were dedicated to academic training, performances around Italy, and his first experiences in film. He has directed and edited approximately ten video works (short films, a feature film, and music videos), with many more projects on the horizon.
