In an idyllic Greek landscape, a woman caught in the web of tradition and desire faces her own destruction. The story follows a passionate and tormented woman who, married to a wealthy man, finds her life engulfed in monotony and resentment. Her world takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of a handsome young man, a prince who awakens feelings she believed forgotten.
As this dangerous attraction unfolds, the protagonist finds herself trapped between her duty and her heart, risking not only her marriage but also her place in society. The tension intensifies as her forbidden love becomes an obsession she cannot contain. The ancient Greek myth that inspired this tale adds a tragic air to this story of overflowing passions and inevitable consequences.
Romanticism intertwines with tragedy in this narrative where beauty and fatality go hand in hand, demonstrating that sometimes love is not enough to save us. The atmosphere is imbued with a sense of emotional claustrophobia, where every glance and every whisper feels like everything is on the verge of collapse. With a stellar cast and visionary direction, this masterpiece of European cinema is a journey that explores the limits of passion, loyalty, and the inevitability of fate.
