Synopsis

A caustic and sharply ironic portrait of a woman consumed by a destructive ideology, the film explores the psychological profile of a protagonist who has so deeply internalized a masculine, fascist militarism that she ultimately dismantles the very fabric of her own family. The work uses a distinctly feminine lens to conduct a socio-political autopsy on the consequences of totalizing ideologies. Through the use of biting satire, Mann examines the intersection of personal identity and political extremism, offering a fierce critique of how the remnants of fascism can warp individual conduct and domestic life.
