Description

Being with an abusive partner can make a woman lose her sense of identity and self - she can feel isolated and alone, like she is invisible. In this film, we follow the daily routine of an increasingly ‘invisible’ young woman, Melanie, who is experiencing domestic violence behind closed doors and who feels that no one is there to support her, or can even see her. As the film progresses an increasingly isolated Melanie encounters a character representing Refuge, who recognises and understands what she is going through and supports her to escape the abuse, regain her identity and rebuild her life. The film is a major prevention initiative that enables Refuge to use an unexpected channel to let young women know they’re not alone.
