The many stories I have heard from friends over the years about sexual abuse are undoubtedly the reason for my interest in this subject. When I was a teenager, I thought I was the only one who had so many friends who had been abused and that it was simply a case of misfortune that it had happened. Witnessing the suffering of more and more friends as I grew older fueled an unbearable rage within me. I had to figure out: How come, in our modern, civilized societies, that so many children are abused? How can we stop this? And what can I do, as an adult, to contribute to the fight against it? The film deliberately refuses a final resolution. It leaves us alone with our questions and our unease. By sending us back to ourselves, the subject cannot be closed. It is my greatest wish to open the door to new discussions. I am certain of one thing: the longer we refuse to think about and debate child abuse from a renewed, radical and holistic perspective, the longer it will continue in suffocating secrecy.
