Four parallel narratives trace the path of growing up
of girl children of various age groups. The film deals
with the shattering of their dreams, the construction
of their desires, the growing alienation from their
bodies and the formation of fear. The experiential
narratives are juxtaposed with interviews of older
women who have gone through violent marriages and are
able to trace the connection between the construction
of feminity and marital violence.
Memories of Fear explores the interplay between
sexuality, construction of fear, and women's own
contribution to the system that continues to denigrate
them.
