Leonarda – Flesh Ain’t Weak

Directed by Mariangela Pluchino

With Katja Kiuru, Bert Jacobs, Ronja Antikainen, Pihla Sudenyö and Aurora Joensuu

Leonarda is a vegan soap maker and serial killer from contemporary Helsinki. She makes soap out of the bodies of her victims. She would do anything to protect her favourite child: Giuseppe. Based on the case of Leonarda Cianciulli, a serial killer from southern Italy during the 30s. A mix between documentary-fiction-dance movie-digital-16mm analogue-among other frolicsomeness.
