PRESENT PAST
MERCY MIREMBE BANADA’s recurring childhood traumas as an effect of witnessing domestic violence have disrupted her mental wellbeing regardless of her seemingly perfect life.
Trapped in a cycle of fear and anxiety, Mercy refuses to have children with her husband, DOMINIC BANADA, after three years of marriage. Haunted by her childhood memories of domestic violence and her mother’s suffering, Mercy sees parenthood as a potential threat to her freedom. As her past continues to torment her, manifesting in nightmares, migraines and anxieties, Dominic endeavours to help her heal and break free from the shackles of her traumatic upbringing. But will his efforts be enough to redeem her sanity to embrace the Present or will the ghosts of her Past forever hold her captive?
