ELECTRA
ELECTRA
A wildly visual poem in which the main character, Electra, goes back to her tenth birthday and tries to confront her deepest fears and suppressed feelings. Inspired by the mythical Elektra of Mycenae, Daria Kashcheeva's film combines live action with animation - a highly imaginative, yet sometimes scary and painful journey through the unreliable nature of memories.
