  "summary": "Angelina Jolie has written and directed a new film called \"Without Blood,\" in which Salma Hayek plays Nina, a woman seeking revenge for the wartime murder of her father and brother when she was a child. The film opens with a scene of a family - a father, adolescent son, and six-year-old daughter - enjoying a day on their farm before gunmen arrive, seeking revenge for the father's actions during a war. The father tries to protect his children, arming his son and hiding his daughter under the floorboards.\n\nAs an adult, Nina sets out to find the men responsible for the murder, and in two cases, her revenge is fatal. She then meets one of the gunmen, who had been involved in the killing, at a newsstand in a town square. He invites her to dinner, aware of her intentions.\n\nThe film explores themes of trauma, loss, and pain, with Jolie and Hayek reportedly spending a lot of time discussing their own experiences with these issues.",
