That Which Does Not Kill

It all hap­pened very quick­ly, but the trau­ma remains. That Which Does Not Kill tack­les the del­i­cate and inti­mate ques­tion of rape with mod­esty and accuracy. 

SYNOPSIS

Ada is nineteen. She agrees to go to dinner with a boy she knows. Everything happens very quickly and she doesn't defend herself. Her body is bruised, her mind diffracted. Ada's story merges with those of others, all different yet similar. The same dirty story, senseless and banal, seen from different angles. That Which Does Not Kill tackles the delicate and intimate question of rape with modesty and accuracy.

Theme(s) : , Feminism, Human Rights, Sexual violence
