A young woman must come to terms with her toxic marriage in the aftermath of surviving an ectopic pregnancy. Born from my own experience, ENOUGH is for the women silently surviving reproductive trauma, betrayal, and abandonment—and the moment they decide to break free.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to shed light on the emotional toll of reproductive trauma and toxic relationships; to explore the grief we hide and the strength it takes to break generational cycles. We want to invite audiences to feel seen, reflect and do better: for ourselves and future generations.

The Story




Recovering from an ectopic pregnancy in the middle of the pandemic, Deianira finds herself navigating not only physical recovery but the emotional wreckage left behind. The night after her and her husband are intimate again after 3 months, she discovers that he —her only support through all of it—has been unfaithful. What begins as a quiet evening spirals into a confrontation with betrayal, isolation, and the generational trauma she's tried to outrun.

Told through intimate flashbacks, fractured memories, and symbolic visuals, Enough explores what it means to reach your limit—and what it takes to choose yourself when you’ve been conditioned to stay. In the span of a single night, Deianira must decide if she’ll keep enduring, or become the one to finally break the cycle.







ENOUGH is born from a truth that has been living inside me for 5 years.


When I went through my own ectopic pregnancy, it was the most isolating experience of my life. Searching for comfort, I joined a FB support group, only to realize how many women were not only grieving, but surviving toxic, unsupportive, and abusive relationships at the same time


I thought I was alone, but I wasn’t. Like me, their pain wasn't only caused by physical trauma: it was born in the silence, abandonment and betrayal.

It was raw. It was overwhelming. It was real. It was common; and very often generational.


In the current state of women's reproductive health rights, I also want this film to make audiences feel seen and challenged and bring awareness to the importance of informed medical care, procedures that save women's lives, and emotional support for women navigating reproductive trauma.


ENOUGH is for the women who endured all of it. It is for the women who are still enduring it.


Not all wounds bleed on the outside. Some are invisible. Some are ignored. And some are passed down until someone chooses to break the cycle.

ENOUGH is a mirror held up to that invisible pain. It’s a hope that we can do better; for ourselves and for future generations.






Ectopic Pregnancy & Reproductive Health Awareness


Accounting for 2% of pregnancies in the US, ectopic pregnancies are a devastating form of high-risk pregnancy loss that is not talked about enough. When the egg attaches anywhere in the body outside of the uterus (ovary, fallopian tubes, cervix, previous c-section scars, etc.) the life of the woman is at risk and the pregnancy cannot be brought to term.

Ectopic pregnancies are the leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester, accounting for 10-15% of all pregnancy-related deaths. Diagnosis can be difficult and a quick intervention is vital for the safety of women. The treatment and recovery tends to be long and traumatic.



Pandemic Isolation & PTSD


During the COVID-19 pandemic, anyone who experienced a medical emergency, illness or hospitalization had to go through it on their own.

Lives were lost and family members were not able to say goodbye; babies were born without the birthing partners allowed in the space; and patients were isolated in hospital rooms for weeks/months without the ability to get the emotional support they needed.

Hospitalizations and medical treatments on their own can be traumatic. Not having the right support increases the risk of developing PTSD.


  • Women are twice as likely to develop PTSD
  • 25% of women after a pregnancy loss will develop PTSD
  • About 40% of patients admitted after emergency care will have elevated risk for PTSD, anxiety, and depression.



Generational Trauma


Experiencing a toxic/abusive environment at home during childhood also highly increases the chances of experiencing it again in your adult life as a victim or perpetrator.

51% of adults report witnessing domestic violence during childhood.

As adults, children who witness domestic violence (physical and/or emotional) are 50% more likely to develop substance abuse issues, 75% more likely to commit a violent crime, and are more prone to experiencing mental health issues like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.






Denise’s work is highly inspired by Ari Aster, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Matthew Libati.

The cinematography of ENOUGH will balance static, composed and symmetrical shots with emotionally raw moments captured by a hand-held camera.

The film begins in cool, desaturated tones that slowly warm as Deianira reconnects with herself. The whole film will be shot in dark interiors until the very end, when Deianira leaves and finally ‘escapes’ into the light.

The palette leans into soft contrasts — pastel pink and blue (ectopic pregnancy awareness colors) against muted grays — evoking vulnerability, detachment, and eventual clarity.

Light, shadows, and distortion of reality will be symbolically represented throughout, often isolating characters with symmetrical frames.

















DEIANIRA (Played by Denise Borraz Trepat)


Deianira is an artist. She has spent her life being the strong one to survive: the little girl who is “so mature for her age” and grows up to be the woman who endures. After an ectopic pregnancy and a devastating betrayal, she’s forced to sit alone with everything she’s been taught to survive in silence. She reaches for connection with her partner, and when met with a wall, she retreats inward, until the weight of that silence becomes unbearable. She feels trapped, until she realizes she has a choice and she finally has had enough. This is her rebellion, not just against him, but against the version of herself she was told to be.





COZBI (Played by Adam Wesley)


Deia’s husband of 3 years is a rational man. He is the kind of man who wants to be seen as a good partner, the kind who (often) says the right things, who believes he's trying. But when life demands more of him (emotionally, physically, intimately) he disappears behind excuses and charm. He’s not a villain in his own eyes. He’s a man drowning in his own emotional limitations, clinging to control the only way he knows how. His actions come more from fear than cruelty. Like many men before him, he hasn’t yet learned how to hold space for someone else's pain — or his own. In his own way, he is trapped in a life that he chose but didn’t want.
