"He suddenly gave his knives names. He told me not to get smart or I would have to deal with Don Raul. This was a kind of joke for him," says Laura, a victim of domestic abuse, at a shelter for women harmed by their partners. This time, she is determined to keep herself and her 8-year-old son, Matias, away from the boy’s aggressive father. She realizes, however, that she is going to have to find a new place where they can both start a normal life, without having to be constantly looking over their shoulders. At stake here is not just the freedom from constant fear but also protecting her son’s mental health, as his future is becoming more and more uncertain. Refugiado is a simple, real, emotional film about an attempt to break free of a cycle of undeserved violence. It is superbly made, which is also thanks to cinematographer Wojciech Staron, who also did the cinematography for Saviour Square (2006) and El premio (2011).
