Synopsis
The path to paradise begins in hell. – Dante Alighieri
Loosely based on Dante’s Divine Comedy, The Divine Way takes viewers along on the protagonist’s epic descent through an endless labyrinth of staircases. As the woman journeys deeper, the staircases mutate and she is trapped and pulled into their dangerous landscape, taking us through more than fifty magnificent locations.
