Small Body

dir. Laura Samani · 2022

The struggle to find hope and redemption in the face of loss is a fundamental part of the human experience.

As she navigates the challenges of her quest, the film immerses viewers in a world steeped in historical and spiritual significance, where every encounter deepens the emotional weight of her sacrifice.

Italy, 1900. Agata is a young woman who embarks on a desperate journey to reach a mysterious sanctuary to save her daughter's soul from the eternal damnation of Limbo.
