A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.

(Robbery) assault, car accident, rape: The list of traumatic events that turn you into a victim or perpetrator is endless. These are encounters that leave deep scars - on the body and on the soul. Perpetrator and victim remain connected to each other as if by an invisible rope, welded together by the (monstrosity of the) crime. Despite this bond, perpetrators and victims often only meet in the courtroom. One in the dock, the other as plaintiff or in the witness chair.
