Film Overview
Silvana Marconi is a survivor of domestic violence, that after writing a book telling her story, she decides to make a documentary to give voice to those who are going through the same.
For Silvana the book has not been enough, as domestic violence is a never endless reality, and very few people dare to talk about. This has taken her to the media, such as television, radio programs, theatres and now, to the movies.
In this documentary, Silvana will meet men and women who have been victims of domestic violence to hear their stories and encourage them to join her struggle to prevent it.
New stories need to be told and people who have been silent must speak so that society can hear them and take a further step in the prevention of this problem that many times remains only inside the houses.
