About the film
The Seventh Turn is a 20-minute ghost story that explores coercive control and the quiet courage it takes to reclaim one’s truth.
The film is offered as a PAY WHAT YOU CAN. ALL PROFITS WILL BE DONATED TO ORGANIZATIONS that support survivors of Domestic Violence and Trafficking.
Based on the Spanish urban legend "La Chica de la Curva", the film places the audience inside a real-time power struggle. Casual conversation reveals a precise pattern of coercive control. This is how manipulation sounds, how it destabilizes perception, and how compliance is engineered without physical force.
