De Djess is directed by Alice Rohrwacher. It’s the ninth commission from Miu Miu Women’s Tales, the acclaimed short-film series by women who critically celebrate femininity in the 21st century.

“I want in my films to pose questions,” Rohrwacher admits, “not to offer answers.”

This new short adds another tender tonality to the Miu Miu Women’s Tales series: a mirrored world where objects choose owners instead of the other way around.
