Sexually and physically abused by her father, Eve has struggled her whole life from this betrayal, longing for an honest reckoning from a man who is long dead.

Playwright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body - how to talk about it, how to protect and value it.

Devo chiederti scusa, mia piccola Eve. Devo spiegarti come ho potuto oltrepassare quel confine, il tabù supremo. Come ho potuto desiderare la mia bambina così appassionatamente. I primi anni ho combattuto il desiderio, sai? Mi limitavo a entrare in camera tua e guardarti dormire. Ero innamorato della tua innocenza, della tua tenerezza angelica. Poi, quando avevi cinque anni, un giorno piangevi forte e io non sapevo più come consolarti, e ho cominciato ad accarezzarti, Eve. Da allora non sono più riuscito a smettere.
