Short story from Hong Kong based director Valeria Riquelme Lara ‘For Her’ is about how we might internalise a story and digest it, warping our perception of reality with intense emotion. It is also about dealing with trauma.
Recognising, dealing with, and talking about something that hurts one so deeply can be extremely difficult. Sometimes we need to read, watch, or hear someone else’s experience in order to come to terms with what happened.
Facing the truth and putting it into words thus becomes a fundamental step towards healing. The contrary —holding things in for fear of judgment or shame — can make one feel extremely alone. As Valeria further notes:Sometimes we come across stories that need to be told. They are often the most compelling and insightful ones, but what happens after we bring them to life? What are the implications of the narrative we create? And what is our relationship to the material? It is tangled with these questions that I, not unlike our troubled protagonist, began to craft this film.
If this story can give a voice to at least one person out there, making it will have been worth it.
