Summary:

Ancient Athens, 5th century BC. At a time when women were expected to remain silent, three great male playwrights – Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides – gave them a voice, and what they said was anything but ordinary.

Their stories tell of women who faced moral dilemmas and chose different paths: silence, sacrifice, endurance, but also resistance or revenge.

These heroines embody archetypes that do not only belong to the past, but continue to shape our values ​​and choices even today.
