The Basement
A neighbour, a letter and an old file with the family surname. In the first person, The Basement revisits the moment the director told his parents about his first relationship — and the question that lingers. A brave documentary about memory, silence and the limits between desire and abuse.
About the project
What are the limits between abuse, pleasure and desire? Who do we talk to about our first sexual experiences when we are still children? Starting from a neighbour, a letter and a green file bearing the family surname, The Basement narrates, in the first person, the moment the director told his parents about his first relationship — and the question that lingers: was it abuse? A brave documentary about memory, silence and taboo.
