An actress leaves for a journey together with a film-maker, TS Eliot's The Waste Land and a deck of Tarots. The omens look gloomy but she attempts to defy them through the very film they are shooting, improvising day by day, and little by little the frames start playing the role of cards in a cinematic deck of Tarots.
At the end the response will be a new one, perhaps even more sibylline, her own.

Eight of Wands won the Best Camera Award in the 26th edition of the Mediteran Film Festival, with the following motivation by the Jury:

"The camera, with its calmness, precision, and sensitivity, creates a deep visual and emotional experience. This film is characterized by exceptional subtlety and a sense for the visual rhythm of nature and human presence. Calm, precisely composed frames build a poetic space in which every movement of water, drops, or light, becomes the bearer of an inner state. Black and white and color scenes intertwine in gentle balance, while reflection on water and glass create a sense of duality - a world that simultaneously exists and disappears. Everything in this film pulsates with a quiet strength - between the real and the imagined, between movement and stillness."
