Daniela Marcozzi 8 TIMES WILDER

8 times wilder is a dream-like encounter between a veterinarian and a beached and agonizing whale. The veterinarian is confronted with the cruelty of a delicate decision: whether or not to kill a beached whale. And if yes, then how?

The protagonist does not surrender to the need for a simple and immediate answer to the dilemma; she dives deep into its complexity, and it is in this very intricate complexity that she finds unconditional love for herself and for whale: an abyss where her soul can still be mirrored.
Where do we bring our soul to recognize itself if not in the belly of the whale?
