Tarantismo is a ritual in South Italy, originating from the Middle Ages. Its purpose was to heal people, especially women, poisoned by the bite of the spider tarantula. The director starts by filming her mother, creating an intergenerational dialogue on motherhood and femininity, while interweaving this intimate material with traces of the ritual today. A dance of gestures and visual associations that questions us on the themes of relationship and care.
