Biography
Matilde-Luna Perotti, a director from a Colombian-Italian family, grew up between France and Italy, nurturing a multicultural sensibility from childhood that shapes her approach to cinema. From an early age, she developed a passion for the seventh art, guided by a deep commitment to feminist causes. Her travels in Latin America intensified her interest in local feminist movements, which became a major source of inspiration. Through her first film and future projects, she seeks to break the taboos surrounding the daily violence suffered by women in Latin America, while highlighting their strength and resilience.

Director's statement
For a while, silence was a crucial part of my recovery. It allowed me to forget, to keep quiet, to soothe. To rebuild myself around the scar that the attack had left on me. But I knew that if I ever wanted to get back on my feet and make sure it never happened again, to me or to the people I loved, I'd have to find my voice again. Break my silence.
