The Winner of Best Film and Best Actor at Oldenburg Film Festival 2022

and most recently showing in February 2023 at the Dublin International Film Festival, Tiernan Williams and John Connors teamed up to make a film in the midst of the Covid pandemic and have delivered an epic piece.

This film is inspired by Dante's Inferno and the seventh terrace of lust. The symbolism of unresolved sexualised trauma permeates down through the generations and flows deep within the psyche. A single act of violence perpetuates another and the original sin, a case of childhood clerical sex abuse, creates a domino effect where the fear of intimacy and human connection is handed down by father to son. The seventh terrace of Dante's inferno will only free the suffering soul when they are brave enough to let go of fear, lust and their ego.

This simple act of humanity casts out the inner demons, but conversely what isn't said can also become the root of a never-ending and self-perpetuating cycle of intergenerational despair.
