"For Electra's Love"

'One word frees us off all the burden and pain of life. That word is...' This is the question which passionate Electra has to answer. An ambitious and charming actress, named after the mythical heroine of the Sophoclean tragedy, has the unique chance to play the challenging role of her namesake. However, in order to successfully portray the psychologically complexed character of the play, she has to confront first her own self and past. Her 'accomplice' is her co-star, George, who seems to have an insight on her deepest secrets and thoughts.
