About the film
INFORMATION IMPORTANTE: I would like to draw your attention to one point: the film is told from the victim’s point of view. As in a dream, some elements are not necessarily strictly realistic. The central theme of the film is the abuse that many women suffer within relationships. Given the reality of violence against women that exists in all countries, it seemed important to me to address this issue from a different perspective. My intention above all was to convey fear from the inside, as it is experienced by the victim.
