Light falls vertical

Domestic violence: a sensitive topic that Efthymia Zymvragakis approaches with great empathy. Having fled her own childhood marked by violence in Crete, her memories resurface when a perpetrator asks her to make a film about him. 'Light Falls Vertical' is a profoundly personal yet universally resonant essayistic documentary about domestic violence. The focus is on the tumultuous soul of a perpetrator. The filmmaker not only provides him with a stage but also understanding, reliving her own past in the process.
