What's the emotional terrain of domestic abuse like?


"Edge of Silence is a hauntingly poetic short that navigates the emotional terrain of domestic abuse through a deeply personal lens. The voice-over, delivered with raw authenticity, anchors the film, guiding us through the protagonist’s inner world as she balances on the edge of despair. The visuals are metaphorical, dreamlike, and delicately executed, supporting the narrative without overwhelming it. While the theme is heavy, the film handles it with bold sensitivity, using symbolic language and imagery to reflect pain, confusion, and ultimately, self-rescue. A powerful portrayal of resilience, and a moving example of how storytelling can transform suffering into strength."
