The Culprits

After carrying the silence of a teenage abortion for years, filmmaker Marta Duran Lozano gathers the anonymous testimonies of women who have lived through similar experiences. Alongside teenage girls who have recently had abortions, she embarks on a collective creative process, revisiting, embodying, and reimagining these intimate stories. The film traces an emotional landscape of fear, vulnerability, and quiet resilience, capturing the hidden struggles of young women navigating stigma, internalized guilt and inadequate institutional support. At a time when abortion rights are increasingly under threat, it emerges as a poignant act of solidarity, transforming loneliness into communion, shame into shared understanding, and secrecy into a space of fortitude and empathy.
