Away From Meaning

About This Movie

Away From Meaning is a deeply introspective documentary that dives into the complexities of mental health through the eyes of Liliana and her family. The film’s tone is heavy, yet it carries a thread of hope as they navigate her emotional turbulence and past suicide attempts. It’s raw and unflinching, showcasing the impact of institutional failures when a psychiatric hospital closes its doors. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments of silence to linger, which adds to that sense of urgency and despair. The performances, particularly from Liliana's family, feel genuine and unguarded, inviting us into their vulnerabilities. What stands out is its unpolished, almost harsh realism that doesn’t shy away from the difficult conversations surrounding mental illness.
