In this intimate documentary, Daniela Magnani Hüller returns to the places shaped by a life-altering act of violence, fourteen years after surviving an attempted femicide by a former classmate. Through conversations with an old teacher, a friend, a detective and the prosecutor, she pieces together fragments of memory and accountability. The film examines how institutions and surroundings can allow abuse to take root, while turning personal testimony into a quietly urgent act of reckoning.
Screening organised in Les Créatives Festival – followed by a discussion with the director and Emilie Flamand, director of BPEV.
An intimate, investigative autobiographical debut, this film follows a director who survived a near-fatal attack fourteen years earlier as she reconstructs the facts through conversations with a former teacher, a friend, a police officer and the prosecutor.

Amandine Bisqueret, Mathias Desmarres and Christophe Hermans shape this Belgian documentary into an intimate and quietly powerful portrait of care. Through the testimonies of Anne-Marie, Sarah and Patricia, three mothers supporting sons affected by mental illness, the film traces daily perseverance, fragile hopes and the invisible labour of loving someone through uncertainty. Modest in form yet deeply humane, it gathers individual voices into a shared, moving reflection on family, resilience and mental health.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Mélanie Consiglio, a member of the artistic team (joining online); protagonists Sarah Crew (in person), Anne-Marie Loeuille and Patricia De Coune (joining online); Chris Archer, scientific advisor; and Maria Halphen, founder and president of Meeting for Minds.
