“Winner of the KNF Award at Rotterdam, a playful and richly cinematic ode to the mythological Greek nymph.

The mythical metamorphosis of Greek nymph Daphne, who escaped a menacing god by turning into a bay-laurel tree, is reborn in a contemporary Rome surrounded by parks, gardens and the persistent symbol of the woman-as-tree. Shot on vibrant 16mm film, this witty, textural ode to the enduring nymph is a mini filmic treasure.”
