A mute dialogue between a man and a woman that dramatically turns into an irreversible tragedy of domestic violence.

Directors Statement

Globally 38% of murders of women are committed by a male intimate partner. Me personally managed to escape death despite many injures and a heavy concussion. I’m divorced but not mute now. I want to make a visual statement on the subject that feels revolting or at least uncomfortable. This short movie is a death dance as a side of love. Love that loses its magic power after one of the partners walks the line of mutual respect and acts irreversibly. Love that is incompatible with life.
