RESTORATION
Germany 2023 – Director: Gudrun Gruber – Original language: English – Subtitles: German – Length: 72 min.
Trauma research has become more visible in recent years, but what if the trauma is directly in front of you? Sabrina’s anxiety, panic attacks and seizures could only be endured by her family because Sabrina did one thing: she never gave up on herself. A film about a courageous woman who insists on not being defined only by her past but on determining her own future. Jan Sebening
Notice: This film contains explicit descriptions of sexualized violence (word) and PTSD (word and image).
