Crystal Nights

In Athens in 1936, Isabella, the German wife of a Greek army officer in the period of the Metaxas dictatorship, initiated in mysticism and possessing supernatural powers, falls in love with a much younger man, Alberto, a Jewish youth who delivers ice. Their union and communication is absolute but a little later Alberto “disappears”. Isabella uses her magic powers to bring him back to her but his eyes have a “lifeless” look. Isabella kills herself. A few years later, during the German occupation, she is reincarnated as Anna, a young Jewish girl and the daughter of relatives and neighbors of Alberto. After their first and only erotic union, Alberto sensing the impasse decides to marry a woman his age, a “foreigner”, and to live a “normal life”. Anna avenges herself with the magic power of fire. After her love for Alberto finally fades she is reborn as Marianna in the Athens of 1983.
