Her name was Persephone

Persephone stands by the lake shore, clutching an old photograph. The water reflects the sky but not her face — she has long forgotten her own reflection. In a small town where everyone knows her family's story, she tries to piece together fragments of memory scattered between neighbors' tales and childhood remnants. This 2025 drama explores the boundaries between personal history and collective memory, where the past becomes material for constructing the present. The director crafts an intimate narrative where silence between words speaks louder than dialogue, and northern landscapes become full-fledged characters in this melancholic story.
