      Murderess

      2023 1h 35m Drama List
      Reviews 94% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings Early 1900's on a Greek island. Hadoula, who lost her husband at a young age, is a woman who has learned to survive in a male -- dominated and extremely patriarchal society, the hard way. Hadoula carries a difficult burden within her. Like a baton passed on to her from her mother and the previous generations, she is supposed to accept the devaluation and lower fate of women. But Hadoula reacts. Her personal, internal, bubbling revolution is soon externalized. The victims of her outburst are the little girls of the island, whom she sets free from the social and economic burden that their existence entails... by taking their lives. Her actions will bring her face to face with the law. She leaves her home and escapes to her refuge, nature. But as much as her faith and morals dictate that she did the right thing, her transgenerational trauma follows her everywhere. And the end comes as a redemption. Read More Read Less
