Kypria Fonissa (2020)

The story and the crimes of perhaps the most famous Cypriot Murderess in a short film that takes place from 1910 to 1960 in Cyprus and England. Her story confirms the most frightening statement: that man was, is and will always be a package of greatness and horror. The true crime film by Christiana Artemiou, based on real murders that shocked Cypriot society, brings to life the heinous crimes of the first serial killer woman in Cyprus, which upset public opinion, shook state mechanisms, had political implications, became a subject of controversy in the House of Commons and were used as a means of propaganda by the British Government during the EOKA movement. Through this story, the violence in Cypriot society during the first years of British rule is represented. A society that lived on the verge of economic misery, in conditions of extreme poverty, with epidemics, droughts, robberies and all kinds of criminal elements, where knives, arsons and cold-blooded murders had the first say.
