My Voice & Me
A woman confronts her own voice in a deeply personal monologue, unraveling layers of memory, identity, and self-worth in a search for the courage to finally speak her truth.

What begins as a simple description of her voice soon spirals into a raw, intimate exploration of her relationship with it. As her thoughts unfold, she addresses her voice as if it were a separate being—an elusive, sometimes estranged partner she longs to understand and reclaim. Through moments of vulnerability, frustration, tenderness, and revelation, the monologue gives shape to the internal struggle many women face in finding, trusting, and owning their voice. Poetic and piercing, the film offers a meditation on self-expression, agency, and the courage it takes to be heard.
