Maria est policière, grecque, mère célibataire et fille unique. Elle jongle avec ses problèmes d’argent, sa fille adolescente, sa vieille mère et la crise grecque qui fait qu’elle perd son poste à Athènes et doit accepter un poste sur l’île de Lesbos, au confins de la mer Egée. Yussof, un jeune syrien qui fuit la guerre pour ne pas être obligé de tuer, arrive à Lesbos et veut aller de l’avant en Europe. Yussof passe par Athènes où Maria est obligée de revenir, pour chercher sa fille qui a disparu. Leur destin se croise un bref moment dans une Grèce qui semble être une zone de paix, mais qui en réalité ne l’est pas. Celui qui semble être le plus libre des deux, l’est peut-être le moins.

Deux femmes seules mènent une morne existence dans une petite ville de l’ouest de la Grèce où l’on pratique l’élevage d’anguilles. Elisabeth est une officière de police jadis ambitieuse qui a dû quitter Athènes il y a dix ans et qui se noie dorénavant dans l’alcool ; Rita est la sœur effacée d’un chanteur qui officie dans la boîte de nuit de la région. La mort soudaine d’un des habitants va ébranler la communauté locale et rapprocher les deux femmes qui s’ignoraient jusqu’alors. Les secrets inavouables enfouis dans les marais remontent peu à peu à la surface et les deux femmes y voient l’opportunité de sauver leurs âmes en peine.

Lacerate blends elements of realism with a dreamlike, symbolic dimension, portraying the extreme decision of a woman who turns from victim into executioner. In a series of mises-en-scène shot only in natural light, we see a domestic setting overrun by a pack of dogs that roam around restlessly, attacking objects and furniture. The interior of this home is a mental space, violated and lacerated like a body that has undergone violence. Fruit, game, and remnants of food are arranged like still lifes, with allegorical elements evoking the precariousness of life and the loss of innocence.
