SYNOPSIS
Domestic violence and abuse can happen to anyone, yet the problem is often overlooked, excused, or denied. Five young women whose lives have brought them into a shelter tell their dramatic love stories. Taking turns, they provide a chronological account of the process through which their romantic relationships descended into violence and their lovers into tormentors. Dominance, humiliation, isolation, dependence, intimidation, threats, denial and blame - a whole symptomatology of warning signs is presented in five compelling interviews about the growing cracks in their relationships and their struggles to cope with horrific abuse, whether physical or psychological. Illness, coma, attempted suicide, were only some of the consequences for those who allowed the abuse to continue, out of shame, for fear of losing their children or simply in hope that the situation might improve. Remember: somebody else’s violent behaviour is never your fault. If you recognize yourself or someone you know in the situations on the screen, reach out. No one should live in fear of the person they love.
