Overview

This expansive Greek drama follows a troupe of theater actors as they perform around their country during World War II. While the production that they put on is entitled "Golfo the Shepherdess," the thespians end up echoing scenes from classic Greek tales in their own lives, as Elektra plots revenge on her mother for the death of her father, and seeks help from her brother, Orestes, a young anti-fascist rebel.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A layered, formally complex immersion in Greek history and myth through the lives of traveling theater actors, where the ancient tragedies they perform blur into their own wartime struggles. The film unfolds across three hours as a meditation on how personal and political trauma reshape those caught in their wake.
