In the film "Sorry, Baby," actor, writer, and director Eva Victor delves into the complex, nonlinear recovery from trauma through the character Agnes, an English professor. A pivotal moment occurs when Agnes has an anxiety attack while driving, leading her to confide in a kind sandwich shop owner about her past assault. The film's central theme revolves around the fluidity of identity and the various ways time can impact trauma recovery. Through this poignant narrative, Victor illustrates that healing is not a straightforward path and suggests an almost magical connection with sympathetic strangers.
Three years is "not that much time," he says. "It's a lot of time but it's not that much time." This line encapsulates the film's thesis about the recovery journey.
"Sorry, Baby" proposes a set of ideas about the mutability of trauma: that recovery is nonlinear, that the self is fluid, that time modulates the meaning of events.
