Description

Set against a backdrop that transcends time and space, this film ventures into a reflective exploration of storytelling itself, probing the ever-shifting nature of truth within personal narratives. It scrutinizes how the retelling of an event by different voices inherently reshapes its nuances, transforming perception and experience across various landscapes.

The narrative is catalyzed by a woman's escape from an abusive foster father. Although initially compelled to share her tale, her reluctance to dredge up such memories shifts the narrative’s trajectory. Rather than tracing a linear plot, the film captures the reverberations of her story as it echoes through the communities that recount it, highlighting the profound and enduring impact of such personal histories.

Employing an innovative blend of performance art, the film invites performers to collaboratively embody the profound personal experiences depicted. This synthesis of personal testimony with the evocative power of performance art creates a unique cinematic landscape that challenges traditional narrative boundaries.

Navigating the delicate balance between honoring deeply personal truths and engaging a broader audience, the film transcends mere storytelling. It becomes a conduit for a shared exploration of identity and transformation, inviting viewers to engage in a dialogue that encourages contemplation on how personal narratives transform into a mosaic of varied, abstract elements, reflecting our collective human experience.
