Electra rethinks her 10th birthday, mixing memories with dreams and hidden fantasies. Is our memory just fiction? Or a myth?
Electra rethinks her 10th birthday, mixing memories with dreams. Isolated in her fantasy world full of busty dolls, plastic men’s body parts and dentist tools, she builds up her own relationships with her body and sexuality. Diving deeper to her childhood memories, Electra goes through the most painful memories to let her suppressed feelings come out.
