The Sparrow Hawk

Based on a true story.

The only useful clue leading back to a non-conventional superhero’s actions is a sparrow hawk’s feather (or Early Warbird), left behind as a kind of signature. Nobody can guess what’s beneath this ambiguous presence, who chastens men guilty of violence against women in mysterious ways. The comic artist Ju, after a chance meeting with Victor Patillas, founder of a publishing company, takes the job as an illustrator and that’s when he embarks on a journey, plunging into the world of the Sparrow Hawk, the main character in the comic series he’s expected to illustrate. Thus the character of Ketty comes to life, she, a victim of abuse from her brother-in-law, permanently haunted by that traumatic experience and by a family fully convinced she is the cause of it all. Taking shape as a simple illustration at first, Ketty and her friends become more and more real, finally blending into reality itself.
