Gloria mundi 2004

Confronted by the horror of reality, what fiction would be able to shake up apathy?
An actress plays the part of an Arab terrorist that some paratroopers torture in a film that isn't finished. To perform her part with conviction, the actress tortures herself. Closely entwined, fiction and reality will turn her life into an ordeal: she's separated from her son and her lover, Hamdias - the film's director; a producer humiliates her and left-wing intellectuals mock her revolutionary faith.
Behind the camera, Hamdias watches her suffer.
