Synopsis
WHERE WERE YOU? challenges us to reflect on this transversal and universal reality that is violence against women. Everyday violence, subtle or brutal, all terrible and intolerable. Experiences told in different languages and from different countries. A film that harmonizes the authenticity of real life testimonies with the evocative and visual power of animation.
