Chrysalide

8 views

In a timeless mental space, a woman confronts her deepest fears. Bound to a locked door and guided by a fragile flame, she writes to survive. Each word brings buried memories to the surface, revealing an inner struggle between self-image and the desire for change. On the brink of a decisive choice, Chrysalide explores the fragile moment when survival gives way to transformation.

LAP Video

biography

Filmmaker and founder of Lumina Films, I observe, feel, and transform. Since 2018, I make films because some parts of me can only exist in light and shadow. Cinema is my refuge and my fire, where silence becomes image and wounds turn into beauty.
