It’s an adaptation of a chapter from the book Dialogues with Leuco (1947) by Cesare Pavese, which delves into the myth of Sappho (a poetess of Ancient Greece) and the nymph Britomartis, in connection with the foam of the ocean and the idea of heartbreak-induced death. Avoiding a linear narrative, components such as footnotes or extratextual information are also adapted, giving the film a poetic dimension that transcends the boundaries of the text.
