Ius Talionis—Short Film
To boost my portfolio, I wrote an idea for a lingerie commercial in 2017. Over time, this idea turned into a script for a short film. Unfortunately, there was no funding to make the film, so the idea ended up on the shelf.
Fast-forward one year—via a detour, I found a production company in Germany, Neuland Films, who believed in this idea, and together, we brought this beauty to life.

{Exodus 21:22–25}
The codex of Hammurabi, king of Babylonia (1792-1750 BC), is one of the oldest law books found so far. The laws of Hammurabi are nowadays called an example of harsh punishment. This is called the so-called Talio principle:
“Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” or IUS TALIONIS - “retaliation”
