Memories of Fear

Overview

Four tales of girls’ coming of age - through the trajectories of aspiration, curiosity, flamboyance and desire - are juxtaposed with testimonies of adult women on familial violence. The fictional tales and the documentary testimonies overlap, complement each other and then create a line of legacy of FEAR. The normalized and habitual moments in the daily lives of the women weave together a formidable web of fear. This omnipresent female fear then accompanies the young girls into the womanhood of vulnerability.
