Nr. 1 Innocent

Innocent No. 1 tells the story of a woman who could not—or would not—see the aggression in her boyfriend. After each act of violence, he brought her gifts, begged for forgiveness, and promised it would never happen again. Looking into his pleading eyes, she forgave him time and time again.

That illusion of love shattered when the violence escalated beyond repair, leaving her unable to have children. Only then did she leave and remove her blindfold—the blindfold that had kept her from seeing the truth. Innocent No. 1 speaks about denial, manipulation, and the devastating cost of looking away, while also marking the moment when innocence ends and awareness begins.
