Experiencing Interruptions?

Wills

With an unspeakable femicide as a background, two women confront each other and themselves, they wander through a maze made up by memories, dreams, emptiness and conflicts, all from the vulnerability of their own nakedness, reappropriating their bodies in the process, which has been socially and culturally violated.
From this statement, and always haunted by an indecipherable fear, they reflect on the meaning of being a woman nowadays.

Director Statement

I don't consider myself a filmmaker, nor did we intend to make a film, we just wanted to translate our stage play into an audiovisual language, taking advantage of the resources that video offered us.
We assumed it as an experiment. And we carried it out, against all odds, because we had something important to say.
