What Have They Done to Your Daughters?

Massimo Dallamano's razor-sharp thriller WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS? masterfully fuses the stylized violence of giallo with the gritty realism of poliziotteschi in a thematic follow-up to his acclaimed 'What Have You Done to Solange?'. Transforming genre conventions into vehicles for societal commentary, this film dares to expose the organized grooming and sexual exploitation of young women - and the institutional corruption behind it. When a teenage girl's body is discovered hanging in an attic, it is District Attorney Vittoria Stori who leads the investigation. Toppling genre and period conventions, we see the captivatingly beautiful Giovanna Ralli portraying the DA with striking gravitas. She brings both steely determination and sensitivity to the ground-breaking role of a woman heading a team of hardened police detectives. As her team - including the famed Mario Adorf (The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) - uncovers a web of high-level depravity and secrecy, a mysterious black-clad motorcyclist armed with a butcher's cleaver begins eliminating witnesses and detectives alike. With their lives at stake, the officers race to uncover the truth before becoming the killer's next victims.
