- Entry: Ceremony as concealment
Reason: A formal family gathering functions as a surface that protects inherited violence
Related Film: Secrets & Lies - Middle: Truth against family order
Reason: Spoken testimony destabilizes the structure that depends on silence
Related Film: The Hunt - Core: Exposure as irreversible rupture
Reason: Once the hidden crime is voiced publicly, kinship can no longer return to ritual normality

■ Secondary Axes
