Experiencing Interruptions?

Sorry I Love You

With its plot, the film represents the cycle of violence. In violence research, this is a method for identifying violence in relationships and describing its mechanisms. These cycles are divided into: The build-up of tension, where there are often minor verbal conflicts. The outbreak of violence. The "remorse phase", in which the perpetrators regret their behaviour and apologise, which their victims interpret as a sign of improvement. Ultimately, the responsibility of the perpetrator is shifted to the victim. Most of the time, they justify the violence with an action of the victim that led to the perpetrator's outburst of anger. In reality, these processes cannot be clearly delineated and often several phases blur together, leaving the victim in a permanent state between stress, fear and a desire for affection, which the victim receives in phases of remorse. The story runs through the 4 cycles. In each cycle, a new couple continues the story.
