The Daughters of Fire

Las Hijas Del Fuego

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Three women who meet by chance set off for a journey to the land of desire, from which there is no way back. Polyamorous imaginary is transformed into a political act and translated in a road movie, where the transformation of the natural landscape converses in a poetic and sensual way with the diverse manifestations of female sexuality. An orgasmic take on a the actual limits of representation.
