A woman escapes an abusive relationship, only to face a system that refuses to see her pain. In a black box, a dancing couple brings the complexity of abuse to life—physically, poetically, and in a manner that is deeply unsettling. With a powerful mix of haunting animation, raw interviews, and intense choreography, this film uncovers the dark power structures that allow violence to thrive. Brutal yet poetic, it doesn’t just expose the scars of domestic violence—it forces us to confront the truths we would rather ignore. This is not just a film—it’s a shocking, unrelenting wake-up call.
