synopsis
The story begins one winter's day in the Hall of The Emperors,
the Capitoline Museum, Rome. A woman visitor discovers the statue
of Saint Elena, a 4th century visionary and mother of the Emperor
Constantine. At that moment their two lives become unconsciously
entwined and a true story begins to unfold. We are taken on a real
and sensory journey, from Rome to Monaco to a hillside in Crete.
ELENA reveals how it's possible to have more, or less, than five
senses.
