  1. 1. From The Land Of The Moon

    An unnamed Sardinian woman looks back on a life reshaped by a consuming, ill-fated love she experienced as a young bride; the affair, a pregnancy and its painful aftermath lead to social stigma, medicalization and confinement, while memory and desire blur together. Told in a spare, lyrical voice, the narrative explores longing, the constraints placed on women and how personal mythmaking can redefine a lifetime.
