Operating as a mythopoeic film, the sacrificial script is imposed upon the feminine. Drawing on the spirit of Hélène Cixous's fascination with Wilhelm Jensen’s Pompeian fantasy novel Gradiva, as well as on Sigmund Freud’s essay Delusion and Dream…, these moving images interrogate theological narratives that have historically conscripted women into cycles of self-erasure.
