How to Be a Slut in America
Moving Past Trauma is a documentary that tells the story of people who grew up in orphanages or foster homes under very difficult circumstances, yet, against all this, made it past their childhood traumas and managed to become balanced, happy adults. The trainer, the social worker, the writer, the comedian, the running race organizer. They all went through childhood traumas yet became excellent adults. What are their secrets? They talk to psychologists about how they can be a "normal" parents after a difficult childhood. The 3 reporters: Fruzsina Skrabski, Borbála Szabó and Balázs Bodacz presents their stories. Csaba Böjte, who raised successful adults out of thousands of orphaned children, is also involved. Finally, we also get to know their family members, who introduce them during a game and tell us why and how they became good mothers, fathers, husbands, wives. The film begins with Borbála Szabó, who wrote about his childhood ordeals in a novel. She talks about when and how she was able to free himself from her own mental burdens in order to ensure that her own children no longer had to carry her burdens. The common strategy for coping with the task and the turning point when they made their decision are common to all the characters she spoke to. Some of them, after leaving the orphanage, became professional educators themselves and now run an orphanage. For others, the extra push to break through the deadlock was given by charity work in the civil sphere. We also learn about the story of Éva Danó, a child protection case manager who works as a social worker and was raised by abusive parents. The radical turn in her life was brought about by the wife of the pastor next door, and she first told her story when she entered a short story writing competition. For many, art was therapy. The film also presents the life of comedian Iván Bagi, who was able to gain the moral surplus he needed to survive by parodying others. Later, this became his path to self-development. By the end of the film, it becomes clear that there is no essential difference in the characters' survival strategies: patience, willpower, and consistency. They have managed to overcome their very strong negative patterns by developing these three skills, and this also makes them conscious in raising the next generation.
