A woman deals with her past memories and seizes the opportunity to break a trans-generational cycle. The emotional pain of child abuse resurfaces for Iris (Reyna Calvo) when she has to deal with her daughter Daisy (Victoria Ippolito) returning home from a date, tattered and almost raped. Iris is haunted by the reappearance of her Father (Robert Amico), in dream form, until the pain he caused her as a child flows through her and gone forever. "Beyond The Veil" is a slice of life film that briefly delves into the pain and affect of child abuse, and how it stays with someone into adulthood until they actually let the pain and memory of it take its course, from being in the subconscious to resurfacing years later. It shows how the slightest action in the present, can trigger a long buried memory from the past.
We all bury painful memories from our childhood and try to forget them and put them aside, but they still have power in our subconscious and can grow and fester until it breaks the wall and enters our present lives in a whirlwind of pain, instantly changing our present thought patterns and even the lives of everyone around us. Iris changes that pattern only after many heartfelt discussions about it with her best friend Jane (Suzanne Von Schaack) and an emotional scene explaining it to her daughter who never knew about what her grandfather had done to her Mother as a child.
Child abuse, in any form, is more prevalent in the World we live than most can even imagine. And, "Beyond The Veil" only touches the surface when it comes to all the variations of it, secretly haunting adults who have long buried the tragic memories...
