- Synopsis
- Under the bombardments of the Second World War, in the semi-deserted city of Cagliari, Sardinia, Annita tells her niece Piera the story of Janàsa with her sisters and the myth of Janàsa. Seventy years later, in the city that has changed a lot today, Piera still remembers her grandmother's words and the story that influenced her life. A mythical past comes back to life, at the beginning of the Nuragic civilization, when the priestesses of an ancient forgotten cult are finally ready to come out of oblivion. The seven priestesses want to return to celebrate the values of Mother Earth, while they are overwhelmed by a new cult, which proclaims power and war.
  
  Janàsa is the predestined one to lead the rebirth of the old Janàsa group but, at first, we will see her as a girl full of dreams and without any awareness of the role of her future. It will be a tragic event to change her life, to take her to the new world, where the new cult rules with its values and where the danger of a foreign invasion is imminent. Janàsa, a priestess without having chosen this, will take the leadership of six other chosen priestesses. Each sister will practice sacred rites, the fruit of divine gifts and ancient knowledge. Dark forces of political and religious power will soon clash against the 7 sisters, with the intention of destroying their work. But at the same time Janasa will also have to face another conflict, whose struggle is within herself: that one between the woman and the priestess.
