Aftermath

Synopsis

A short drama showing a woman who has been raped weeks, months, years ago. Some days she can live what seems a normal life, but most days she is plagued by terrifying images. In a state of denial, fear and shame she is perpetually on guard against the world, and especially against her own mind and self. Events of daily life converge to unlock the rage she carries, and the healing process can begin.
