Based on Alexandros Papadiamantis’ landmark novel of the same name. Hadoula is a widow in the early 20th century on a dystopian Greek island. She has learned to survive in an extremely patriarchal society. Hadoula’s violent internal revolution soon comes forth, but as much as her faith and morals validate her actions, her transgenerational trauma follows her everywhere.
