Short film 2011

The tradition of hazing in university halls of residence is the catalyst for a nail-biting thriller, provoking serious reflection on gender and power struggles along with shocks and surprises at every turn.

40 years ago in Mexico, a group of women filmmakers gathered to make films dealing with taboo subjects, gender violence, rape, feminicide, clandestine abortion, labor discrimination. They called themselves “Cine Mujer” and were active as a collective for over 10 years. Today they reflect on violence against women and their continuous struggles, which are still prevalent in modern society.
