A mother finds herself sinking into a domestic violent relationship, until an influx of emotions is awakened within her.

‘Influx’ is a poetic short film that sinks into the themes of domestic violence, alcoholism, and love. Inspired by Leslie Morgan Steiner's TED talk: ‘Why domestic violence victims don’t leave’. And by the countless stories of mothers trapped in abusive relationships and the power of love for their children.

Poem written by Daniel Uribe

Deep...
..within me
A tide is forming
Drifting through this storm
I let myself go...
Unconscious
Swimming against these walls
I can hear myself say
"Enough."
And begin to flow
Like a current
An unstoppable force
That grows bigger
and bigger
A breaking wave
Arriving to shore
