In Stay with Me a woman is imprisoned and tortured. Disorientated by her physical and emotional pain, she loses her sense of self and as she tries to protect herself from her immediate suffering, she creates distance
through memories which at times are recollections of her life but which often blur so she no longer knows if they are real or imagination or what she wanted them to be. The interrogation and torture and the woman’s fight to retain her identity become a symbol of a country whose history has been bruised and marred by military dictatorships.
