Introduction To My Life

Philip Ridley is yet another victim of the hostile times we live in — of a system that has failed. A child who, instead of finding refuge in his parents, discovered only their absence. Amid tense family episodes and the brutality of school life, marked by merciless teachers and abusive classmates, Philip builds an inner world rich with imagination — a balm that helps him endure reality. As an adult, Philip returns to the house where he grew up and encounters traces of the past, inevitably confronting the anguish and trauma carried within his memories. A raw, poetic and unsettling portrait of a singular being growing up in an adverse environment, who turns vulnerability and a fertile imagination into tools for survival.
