About This Movie

It's not just about storytelling but rather how these narratives shape their understanding of sexuality and trauma. The film's pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing you to absorb the weight of the conversations. There’s this ethereal quality in the reenactments that blends reality with fantasy, making you question the boundaries of both. The interviews are raw and honest, echoing the turbulent emotions tied to such personal experiences. It's a film that demands reflection and re-examination of how narratives influence lived realities.
