A campy sci-fi experimental film based on the myth of Atalanta, shot in San Gimignano Lichtenberg’s garden. In this version Atalanta confronts her fate as a great basketball player. Several demons and contemporary archetypes discuss contemporary topics of evil and good, and even basketballs have a small role.
