Devoti tutti
Documentary
Storyline
Through magical realist animations in the style of baroque chiaroscuro, Devoti Tutti returns to the martyred Saint Agatha of Catania a voice she never had. Alongside a chorus of the citizens of Catania and the stories of real abuse survivors, Devoti Tutti shows how a communityโs reverence for its saint masks misogynist realities. In her cell Agatha is kept company by her breasts, which her tormenters severed from her bodyโa reminder of the violence she suffered, but also of her refusal to submit to a manโs desire. Together with the flying breasts, Agatha escapes from the chamber where she has been held prisoner for two millennia and flies out over the ocean and into her own self-creation.
"A transcendent story about women who struggle to escape the trauma of sexual violence."
