Femina accabadora is a woman who practiced an ancient form of euthanasia, a piteous act towards the dying man, with a dry hammer blow. Considered by many a legendary figure of the Sardinian tradition, She actually acted until the 1960s, as our protagonists who have witnessed the deeds of the ladies of the good death, tell us. Together with them we cross the sunny landscapes of Sardinia and immerse ourselves in the gray areas of a millenary culture still today alive, which brings us back to the eternal and present questions about death.
