»When The Peonies Bloom« is a video essay about traces of violence that can be found in family history, landscapes and conversations. It opens up big questions: How can you deal with domestic violence? How can you disrupt the helplessness you were taught? How do you sit with pain that you suspect in others?
Moving between dialogs of lovers and family members, the spoken text also touches on body dysmorphia and its connection to early sources of inspiration and escapism, catholic traditions that are deeply embedded into village life and links to feministic theory.
