Life in a shelter for abused women is a daily challenge of adjustment and rediscovery of identity. In this documentary, I focus on the life of a woman who found herself in such a situation, trying to break free from the cycle of violence and regain her hope and self-esteem. The film highlights her unique journey, capturing the strength of mutual support and solidarity that she experiences within the shelter, as well as the difficulties she faces in her effort to adapt to her new reality.

Drauma comes from the words Drag and Trauma. It's a film combing the art of drag with the art of lyric singing. The project speaks about how physical or psychological scars from everyday battles can make us stronger and prouder of ourselves.
