her thread or black land

A revision of history through Sappho's poetry, in the place where she was inspired.

Original title: τα νήμα της

This film is a critique of the patriarchal construction of history. We observe this history being deconstructed and reconstructed through human bodies, which, coexisting with the poetry of the queer woman poet Sappho, in the place where she is believed to have grown up and written, Eresos Lesvos, try to reconstruct a collective memory based on the freedom of their bodies and their environment. As the sunlight spreads across space until it sets, there is a passage from one spatio-temporal point in history to another, from the sound of cicadas to the sound of machines and then to hope.
