'star born brutal' is a diaristic exploration of liberation and trauma, in which recurrent memories oscillate between the Imaginary and the Real. The filmmaker is confined by an overwhelming desire to recover a wholeness which is tied to the memories shaping their identity. Within this struggle, the schizophrenic experience creates a deterritorialization of masculinity, and embraces the fluidity of trauma and attachment in its absence. In this context, masculinity becomes a negotiation for an emancipation from the suffering inherent to birth.
