27 Steps of May

Synopsis: 

8 years ago, May (14) was raped by a group of men. May’s father is devastated, blaming himself for failing to keep his daughter safe. Traumatized by this incident, May withdraws from life. She imprisons herself in her father’s house, blocking out all emotions by constructing a protective bubble around her. While May lives her life in silence, without connections or emotions, her father is trapped by feelings of guilt. With May, he’s a gentle soul who sacrifices everything for her. But in the boxing ring, he’s a raging machine who fights to channel his anger and guilt. After 8 years an enchanting magician creates a small crack in May’s protective wall. The magician stirs May’s sense of wonder and in doing so awakens her emotions. She becomes brave enough to search and face her once lost feelings, sensations, impressions and memories. With the help of the magician, May faces her trauma and frees herself from her crippling past.
