Giunti Odeon presents the new film by Italian director Louis Nero, who continues his personal quest for a philosophical and visionary cinema. The title is inspired by the famous master of Tibetan Buddhism Jetsun Milarepa (to whom Liliana Cavani already dedicated a film in 1974), who lived between the 11th and 12th centuries, and is known for his radical path of inner transformation. Vexed since childhood by his greedy uncles, the young Mila later learns the art of black magic in order to take revenge, until he decides to purify himself and undertake a path of asceticism, meditation and illumination, thus becoming Milarepa. The same parable is essentially fulfilled by the film's protagonist Mila, who here is a girl robbed of her father's inheritance by her uncles, on a timeless Mediterranean island, suspended between past and future. Determined to avenge her father's murder by her relatives, Mila is driven by her mother to travel far away to learn the magical arts necessary for her purpose. When her revenge is accomplished after a long journey, however, Mila feels guilty and wants to go to Guru Marpa to atone for her actions and regain her long-lost serenity. As has become customary in his albeit highly experimental cinema, Louis Nero makes use of a cast embellished with international faces and sacred monsters, from Harvey Keitel to F. Murray Abraham, from Ángela Molina to Franco Nero, and each of them accompanies the protagonist Mila - played by the young Isabelle Allen, who made her debut in Les Misérables (2012).
