Phaedra

T1687854530
Tragic epic. Portrait of a powerful woman torn apart by sexual obsession. Phaedra is a woman stricken with a blind, all consuming love for a young man half her age. Her step-son. She struggles to reconcile her uncontrollable desire with her duty and obligations as a wife, mother and public figure.
