MATHILDA [French award winning short film]

This short can be triggering for some viewers and contains scenes of harassment and self-harming, please be cautious. Viewer discretion advised.
Mathilda’s titular character, a high schooler in today’s world, has a chronically ill, depressed mother and is often bullied at school. After a moment of crisis, Mathilda wakes up to find that she has a gift. She is about to discover what is hidden behind the violence and anger of her everyday life.
Violence can take many different forms, and can lead individuals to fall into depression and self-harming behaviors. With this film, I wanted to portray my belief that communicating about painful experiences and thoughts can increase empathy and uncover a path to recovery.
