The Butcher
Drama
Alina is a brilliant and enterprising woman who runs a successful art gallery in Palermo. Her husband Daniele, a successful orchestra conductor, cultured and intelligent, is not a regular presence. One day, while accompanying Daniele to the airport, Alina feels a sense of emptiness. She will try to fill it with a butcher who is always joking and full of erotic allusions and who arouses a strong attraction in her.
VIBE
A hushed, charged atmosphere simmers with unspoken desires. The film feels like a fever dream, exploring the intoxicating pull of forbidden intimacy and the profound, irreversible shifts it can ignite within a person.
