ISABELLA MORRA

FRANCE 22 MIN

MOSCOW PREMIERE

ABOUT

Between the wild fables of Adriana, a modern little girl, and the poetry of Isabella, hanged by her brothers in the 16th century for treason, what is the connection?

Here, Adriana is telling a story, Camille grumbling and Océane, in who knows what boredom, is trying to get her doll to speak its never-ending discourse. The trace of a programme or, on the contrary, the hope of a possible emancipation?
