THE
VICTIM

Under the shadow of modern life in big cities, thousands of victims remain hidden from people's eyes.

There are women who live and die without identity and without legal rights.

The Victim follows a prostitute struggling with darkness during the final minutes of her life.

02 — THE APPROACH
01

ONE TAKE.
SEVEN MINUTES.

The film was shot as a long take — a continuous sequence shot lasting seven minutes.

Making the film was demanding both technically and dramatically. The entire performance had to unfold within one continuous take.

The lead actress trained for almost two months in preparation for the role.
