Montxo Armendáriz : 2011
Don't Be Afraid
Silvia is a young girl marked by a dark childhood, having been molested and raped by her father from the age of seven. As time goes by, Silvia withdraws from him into an asocial, somnambulistic world of addiction without those around her even noticing. When she is hardly twenty-five, she decides to start over and to face people, feelings and emotions that keep her bound to the past. In her fight against adversity and against herself, she will learn to control her fears and become an adult, responsible for her own actions. It is a story that preserves the harshness and truth of a terrible situation and portrays the anguish and state of unease in which victims live, with practically no social support, in total anonymity and silence, without daring to say anything. A subtly told, yet intense human drama examining a dark truth that society insists on ignoring. The film screened in competition at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2011.
