A story of Larisa, an actress of a provincial theater. Despite her talent, commitment to the work she loves and years of dedication to theater, Larisa never got a role longer than a couple of phrases. Will she be able to prove to the director, spectators and, first of all, to herself, that she deserves much more and what will she risk to achieve it?

After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.

A sweeping drama set in the chaotic aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq, where the life of top UN diplomat Brazilian Sérgio Vieira de Mello hangs in the balance during the most treacherous mission of his career.
