Synopsis

Our take

An unflinching look at teenage abuse, Ruxandra Zenide’s daring debut charts the toil of reclaiming one’s autonomy in a dysfunctional family environment. Caught in a cycle of patriarchal oppression and financial woes, a young girl bravely builds her own road to freedom through dangerous means.
