Eva is a woman and victim of gender violence that has almost recovered and is about to embark on a new life. Gregorio just got out of prison after trying to murder Eva. A judge declared that he is rehabilitated and can stay with his two children. This means that Eva has to abandon her plans. That is the plot of a work whose writing finished nearly three years ago and, far from improving, the situation has perpetuated and we could even be witnessing a regression. Thus, this work makes even more sense now. If the initial drive of its author and director, Vanessa Espín, to write it was the incomprehensible absurdity that justice, instead of protecting women who are victims of chauvinist violence, sometimes leaves them even more defenceless than they already are. There are recent cases of women sent to prison for trying to protect their children from abusive fathers. It is urgent to keep the debate alive and fight so that the law protects the oppressed. Male violence is another form of terrorism and judges – like one of the main characters in this work, Amalia – often find themselves in dilemmas when sentencing because, as Espín says ‘you’ve got to bear in mind that female victims of gender violence are traumatised,’ which often complicates taking statements from them. ‘The problem is complex. It isn’t just black and white. It is extremely difficult for judges to get to the bottom of these cases.’
