- Through magical realist animations in the style of baroque chiaroscuro, Devoti Tutti returns to the martyred Saint Agatha of Catania a voice she never had. Alongside a chorus of the citizens of Catania and the stories of real abuse survivors, Devoti Tutti shows how a community's reverence for its saint masks misogynist realities. In her cell Agatha is kept company by her breasts, which her tormentors severed from her body-a reminder of the violence she suffered, but also of her refusal to submit to a man's desire. Together with the flying breasts, Agatha escapes from the chamber where she has been held prisoner for two millennium and flies out over the ocean and into her own self-creation.

- Frederic Sinistra was born and raised in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, and later moved to Belgium. The first time Fred met his father, was after the father was released from jail, Fred was just 4 years old. This was a major turning point in his life and most likely the most significant one. Fred and his mother suffered all sorts of physical, emotional and psychological abuse, at the hands of the father. One of the punishments inflicted was, when he was 7 or 8 years, the father would leave him alone for hours in an old ruin of an abandoned psychiatric hospital, that the locals never set foot in. It's hidden deep within a dark forest, the documentary reveals the dark nature of this place. It's said to be haunted and all sorts of animal and even human sacrifices have taken place there since the mid 1940's. Going back there again as a grown man, was a Herculean feat for Fred. The only positive thing in his life when he was a child, was sports. He loved all sports, he was already a gifted athlete at a very young age and had a particular love for track and field. Thanks to the insistence and help he received from his coach, Guido? (who gave him his very first pair of sneakers), he was able to participate in many athletic events, which he would always win. In Belgium, Fred developed a strong passion for boxing. Even though the boxing gym was miles away from home, he would never miss training. The abuse at home continued till his early teen years, till he decided to leave and live out of his car, which he parked next to his gym. He then met George, a Greek restaurant owner, who invited him to his restaurant, so that he could have a proper meal. George was the second person in his life to do something nice for him. Despite his marginal circumstances, Fred continued training and eventually started kickboxing and from there the Spartan warrior was born. His fighting skills got him a job as a nightclub bouncer. And despite not having a normal training routine or living routine due to the night-shifts, he still managed to compete at the highest level in the kickboxing competition "K-1", where he faced some of the biggest names in the sport. He received no help, no money, no sponsors and no doctors. He did it all on his own. Fred was born premature and due to this, he had a weak heart, he continued regardless. He decided at a young age that he was going to fight, whether it was against his father's abuse, the voices he could hear in the abandoned asylum in Sicily or the violence of his opponents in the ring, he decided never to give up. Until the 15th of December 2021, when, sadly, and very unexpectedly his heart gave out. He was only 41. Strong emotions come to the surface as ghosts of the past are revisited. Heartfelt tributes and testimonies given by his aunt in Sicily and his trainer and close friends serve to highlight what an endearing and brave character he was. The film ends on a pact Fred felt he made with God, that he would live up to God's expectations.
