When eight-year-old Josephine witnesses a brutal sexual assault in a park, her sense of safety is shattered. Her father tries to help her regain a sense of control through martial arts, while her mother wants her to receive professional support and testify in court. Struggling to make sense of what she has seen, Josephine begins to respond with anger and violence, as the world around her seems increasingly threatening. Beth de Araújo offers an intimate portrayal of a child trying to process trauma and find her place in an adult world that has failed to protect her.
