Phyllida Lloyd, a hymn to women fleeing violence

(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 23 - Forget the romantic and fascinating atmospheres of Mamma Mia!, If anything, concentrate on Margaret Thatcher's portrait without discounts in The Iron Lady, but above all, pay attention to a coincidence: Phyllida Lloyd was born the same day, June 17 case 1963), by Ken Loach because Herself - The life to come has a very similar touch of humanity.

The film applauded at the Sundance Festival is now at the Rome Festival and will be released on November 25 with Bim on the occasion of the International Day against violence against women.

    The British film and theater director, with the decisive collaboration of the Irish actress Clare Dunne who also wrote the screenplay, in addition to being the protagonist, brings to the fore a hymn "to the courage of women. To those who manage to escape, to close behind the door and begin a painful journey knowing that they will be in danger, even more in danger once they leave the house, and to those who do not make it and have the courage to stay next to their violent partner who beats and abuses them ".

    In the film Sandra (Clare Dunne), after yet another act of anger from her husband which causes irreparable damage to her arm, she finally finds the courage to escape with her two daughters.

   Society should protect it, social housing and protection associations try, but it is not at all easy to restart and with the possibility of being attacked again and possibly deprived of children.

With the generous help of a woman at whom she does the house cleaning as her mother did, Sandra takes it into her head to build a house for them.

And only the free collaboration of other people, despite enormous difficulties and dangerous situations that the ex-husband puts in place to recover as if his woman were an object, makes her reach the end of the business, from there a new life will begin.
