Beatrice
Drama
Somewhere in France during the Middle Ages. Béatrice is impatient to see her father return from English captivity. She doesn't expect however that the father whom she loves from distance will be the most hateful person who will submit her and her family to abuse and humiliation.
VIBE
This is a stark, emotionally grueling journey into the darkest corners of human cruelty. It's a bleak, oppressive slow-burn, immersing you in a harrowing medieval world where innocence is shattered by unchecked power. Expect an unflinching portrayal of suffering and profound despair, leaving a heavy, lasting impression.
