Simone is suddenly confronted with her ex-wife Nora. After their daughter’s death, they had lost contact for years. Nonplussed, Simone loses her balance between ratio and emotion.
What happens when we transfer Greek tragedies to the present? Are the characters still credible? And are their genders still right? Short love tragedy based on Aeschylus’Oresteia. Simone’s harmonious life is shattered when her ex-wife Nora is on her doorstep after a five-year absence to pick up their former life again, as if nothing has happened. Their reunion rips open old wounds and unhinges Simone. As in most tragedies, their lives will never be the same after this.
