Based on the classic masterpiece by Alexandros Papadiamantis, Murderess takes place on a remote island in Greece, circa 1900.
Driven to despair over the oppressed lives of females in her island community, Hadoula, a midwife, finds a solution to confront the evils of a male-dominated society. Seeing herself as a savior, of sorts, she takes the lives of young girls to spare them from a future of hardship and servitude.
