You Were Never Really Here

Director:

At only 19 years old, an Argentinian filmmaker emigrates to Miami looking for better opportunities. She soon finds herself falling for her very first boyfriend, someone she thought was good for her. That would quickly change, making her feel trapped in an abusive relationship that she would hide from everyone around her for years. In a detailed search for healing, she explores the events that led to the morning when he sexually assaulted her to understand that she is not to blame.
