Her Violet Garden

Through painful and nostalgic recollections, a young refugee woman tries to come to terms with the losses of war, her shattered life, and the alienation between her and her mother. “…It is with subtlety and a touch of magic that Irena Joannides manages to delve into this woman’s inner world, unfolding in front of the viewer’s eyes her protagonist’s nostalgia, her most intimate thoughts and desires, which recount lost persons and places.” – Ricardo Lopes, Cine-Epiloge
