Poison Slow

In an isolated Hungarian village, a group of women are on trial for poisoning abusive husbands, aging parents and unwanted children.

In Sicily, an alchemist is to be hanged for sharing the process of poisoning hundreds more.

In other places, among other women, the poisoning continues.

Born from true stories and performed in a polyglot of languages, 'Poison Slow' traces the whispered remedies of women who choose rebellion over silence - selling 'escape' in a vial.

Witness the quiet alchemy of sisterhood in a multilingual examination of women driven to desperate and transgressive collective action.
