Premiere

Palmira is based on a grandmother’s story, touches upon several conversations about what it means to be a man and to be a woman, in various parts of the country, and arrives at a location, which is Palmira. A sort of oasis, where two women stop nourish themselves, rest and question each other on this very complex, very basic topic, on what makes up a human being.

Palmira is an altered state of consciousness, a place of thought, in the brain, and is also a show.
