Daughters of Scheherazade

The film traces the figure of virgin and places her in an amorous encounter with pleasure and pain, body and mind, the historical and the lived. It presents wedding night as a liminal event and projects the liminality of the event onto a psychic landscape. Placed at the edge of time, the nuptial chamber in the film becomes the feminine place of contemplation. The film is a search for the shadowy, nocturnal and the oneiric.
