Women are dying in childbirth. Torn apart. Killed. Based on the real Ancient Greek myth, Agnes disguised herself as a man to practice medicine. But, her father, Nikitas, is the Master of Medicine in Athens, a man who will readily kill for the status quo. Her lover, Perasia, is set to marry Stelios, attendant to Nikitas and rival to Agnes. Yet, that doesn’t stop Agnes and Perasia from seeing each other in the shadows. Agnodice is part complicated love triangle, part historical epic, part medical drama set in a time not too different from ours, where women’s bodily autonomy always comes into question. Agnes is determined to change that.
