Project Title: The Circle

Brief Synopsis: The film explores the vicious cycle of trauma and retraumatization, highlighting the countless ineffective psychological treatments and prolonged, often futile legal proceedings that intensify rather than alleviate suffering. It confronts the viewer with the failure of both societal structures and institutional systems to adequately support a traumatized individual. As a result, the character becomes increasingly isolated and trapped in a recurring cycle of retraumatization.
