Experiencing Interruptions?

SHOT

Valeria is a woman caged by her partner Guido in a sick and violent relationship which has nothing to do with love. She seeks for freedom while following her passions and dreams, which her man punctually suffocates. Through her photo shootings, Valeria aims to free her dreamy soul. And maybe one day her very passion will set her free and put an end to her calvary.
