One of the most shocking and transgressive films of the 1970s, this incendiary political parable centers on Galai (the fearless Olga Karlatos), an actress starring as an Arab terrorist in a film about the Algerian War. In preparation for her role and under the influence of her militant director, Galai begins to inflict torture upon herself - blurring the boundaries between performance and reality as director Nico Papatakis provocatively interrogates questions of art, authenticity, and left-wing political hypocrisy.
