In an era where emotional connections are increasingly forged through screens and identities can be shaped by algorithms, romance scams emerge as a new form of emotional violence. Women and men, seduced by fake profiles and promises of love, become trapped in an invisible web of psychological manipulation, isolation, and financial ruin.

Director's note

Violated Souls weaves real testimonies with dreamlike imagery and a minimalist soundtrack, creating a visionary and hypnotic dimension. The goal is to replicate the sense of disorientation experienced by victims of emotional scams, immersing the viewer in an experience that blurs the line between reality and illusion, especially in the era of deepfake and artificial intelligence. A film that explores shame, humiliation, and loneliness, while inviting reflection on how anyone can become vulnerable.
