After a failed execution attempt at the hands of unknown assailants, Levi spends winter recovering in the home of his mother who is simultaneously recovering in the hospital.

He finds himself reborn until a sense of surveillance creeps back in. When Levi is confronted by a volunteer scout leader, he proves it was simply his environment that had changed not his character. After Levi descends into old ways he returns to the city finding himself in familiar company. It isn't long before old enemies return to finish the unfinished.

Dinner table scene, psychological control, the wife is subject to a societal trial and judgement influenced by her abusive husband.

(In)Visible

Director: Sam Joseph

Year: 2025

(IN)VISIBLE explores the psychological effects of domestic abuse and society’s complicity in trial and judgement. A young wife, abused by her older husband, is misread as cold and detached while he charms his friends. When he suddenly leaves during a very awkward and tense pre-dinner gathering against the backdrop of a symbolic art exhibition, she finds herself at the centre of an uncomfortable, damning trial by those who only know his version of the story. The trial unfolds around a contemporary table setting, echoing iconic scenes from art history, showing the historical repeated patterns of how women are seen, silenced, and judged. The film’s emotional power lies in what remains unsaid, and it reveals the insidious nature of domestic abuse and the ease with which a perpetrator can shape a victim's story; in this narrative, the wife endures a hostile societal trial and judgment with strength, dignity and resilience.
