The story is about an oath and a crime in a royal family. We’re all responsible for our own actions and for the actions of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents. The Gods punish our children’s children (whether we like it or not). It explores the theme of cruelty deeply hidden in the subconscious of humanity. At some point in the history of our country, family, or any human being, cruelty suddenly escapes and turns into a force that controls a man. The question is, how deep is man’s cruelt, one or more kilometres? Why are people in certain situations more violent than plants and animals? Electra and her brother Orestes restore justice in their family and the Gods punish those who committed the crime. Any small or big criminal behaviour is revealed and punished sooner or later. The question, “how does man behave in extreme situations?” still remains unanswered in the 21st century, just like one thousand years ago.
