A person, in the case of "Iphigenia" a girl, sacrifices part or even her whole ego to become a member of a new social ensemble and specifically of the social ensemble of her future husband. The film is inspired by the theater of the absurd and mainly by theatrical texts by Ionesco and Pinter but also by the original myth of Iphigenia which symbolizes sacrifice.

After their violent breakup, the ghost of her ex follows her. He is everywhere, wherever she looks, so Alex seeks refuge. She soon discovers that all her familiar places and faces are a threat. Her instincts lead her to an underground walkway. There, she connects with a homeless man who lives there. In his gaze, she recognizes a shared trauma. She feels like he is the only person, in the only place where they can coexist. Their silent companionship brings her one step closer to facing her trauma head-on for the first time.
