Decay

This film chronicles the effects of post traumatic stress syndrome in the lives of two rape victims, six months after the attacks on them. They recount to a journalist the trauma of their rape and their struggles to move on. Both are eventually abandoned by their partners but whilst one becomes a victim of her situation, goes for an abortion and attempts suicide as her world falls apart. The other staunchly resists the aftereffects and forges on despite threats from the rapist and mockery by colleagues.
