The shadow of her husband has returned to suffocate the house. For Tina, there is no escape, no respite—only the ever-present threat of a violent criminal who has once again stolen the air from her lungs.
DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
Tina is a visual exploration of redemption, exposing the wounds of a conscience forced to reckon with itself. After a lifetime lived in the shadow of evil, Tina is confronted by a terrifying question: has she, too, become a silent cog in the machinery of her husband’s criminal world?
The film inhabits the fragile space between victimhood and passive complicity, immersing Tina’s story in a claustrophobic patriarchal world—repressed, dogmatic, and suffocating. It is a world in which violence does not simply enter the home; it becomes part of its very fabric.
