Short filmTranscript
00:00In the golden embrace of youth, I was a soul untouched by the burdens of the world.
00:11I am Iphigenia, summoned by my father, Agamemnon, with promises veiled in affection and deceit.
00:20The day dawned, with visions of honor and grandeur, a union with a hero of legend.
00:26My heart danced with dreams of a future bathed in royal light, yet this joy was nothing but
00:33a fleeting shadow, an illusion woven to conceal a darker truth.
00:41The whispers of unease, the sidelong glances, each one tightened the noose of fate around
00:46me.
00:47My father's eyes, once brimming with pride, now reflected a sorrowful weight I could scarcely
00:53comprehend.
00:56Inside the war-tent, the truth hit me like a cold, sharp wind.
01:01My marriage was just a cruel disguise, hiding the dark reality of my sacrifice.
01:06I wasn't brought here to marry a hero.
01:09I was brought here to be a pawn in a grim game of fate.
01:13Father, how could you unravel my life so cruelly?
01:18I was nothing more than a sacrificial lamb, thrust into a dark abyss of deceit and sacrifice.
01:24The love I once held for you shattered into a million pieces, each fragment echoing my
01:30profound sorrow and disbelief.
01:33As I walked towards the altar, each step was a relentless march toward my end.
01:38The faces around me, some with pity, others with cold detachment, were blurred by my tears.
01:45The world I cherished had disintegrated, leaving behind only the stark reality of my inevitable
01:51fate.
01:52In those final, harrowing moments, I sought solace not in the fear of death, but in the
01:58acceptance of my grim role.
02:00I could only hope that my sacrifice would breathe life into the sails of the Greek fleet,
02:06that it would redeem my father's sins and secure their victory.
02:10Yet, my soul wept for the life I would never live, for the dreams that would perish with
02:16me.
02:17I was sacrificed not just to the gods, but to the unyielding demands of men.
02:22If this is the fate of women, to be pawns in a game we never chose, then who will mourn
02:27for the lives we might have lived?
02:30In my death, let it be known that a woman's strength is not in her sacrifice, but in her
02:36defiance of a world that expects it.
