Experiencing Interruptions?

Unfinished Sentence

After years of imprisonment and torture under a brutal regime, a former political prisoner struggles to reintegrate into society. Haunted by hallucinations and survivor's guilt, he attends mandatory joint therapy with the very officer who once tortured him—part of an international effort to force reconciliation between victims and perpetrators.

As the session unfolds, he is pulled into flashbacks of his suffering, reliving the tragic betrayal of his closest friend, who died in his arms. Reality begins to blur, his trauma manifesting in nightmarish visions, until he finally snaps, unleashing years of suppressed rage in a violent confrontation.

A harrowing psychological thriller and political drama, the film explores the lingering scars of state violence, the impossibility of forced reconciliation, and the thin line between justice and vengeance.
