Inspired by the discovery of the five wounds of human beings by Lise Bourbeau, the short film "As Nossas Feridas" takes us on an inner journey of five adults who decide to start a process of healing and awareness.
SYNOPSIS
Raúl, Maria, Joana, Henrique and Isabel are on a retreat where they reflect on their traumas and desires.
Raúl feels useless and rejected, Maria, his love, finds it difficult to give herself in the relationship, Joana creates dependence on Henrique, who in turn only wants his ego fed, and Isabel is reserved and rigid.
The experience between them creates bonds and challenges. When Joana decides to leave Henrique and be alone, everything takes off.
NOTE OF INTENTIONS
"As Nossas Feridas" is a 15-minute drama that addresses the theme of human wounds (rejection, abandonment, betrayal, injustice and humiliation) conceived by author and specialist in the field of personal development Lise Bourbeau.
The human being can find all five wounds within himself. However, he will notice one or two more common ones throughout his life. Firstly, they manifest themselves in their relationship with their parents and later they are exposed in their relationship with others.
In this way, the five characters in this story, each one with one of the five most active wounds, find themselves in an experience in which the use of their respective masks begins to affect their interpersonal relationships in order to come to understand their true nature.
As this story is an episodic moment in the experience, the message that is intended to convey is the importance of becoming aware of their recognition and acceptance in order to start healing and evolve as individuals and society. Because these are not just their wounds, but the wounds of us all.
