In this work, starting from the analysis of the film Festen by Veinterberg (1998), the authors wanted to focus on “the family secret” in abusive situations, “the silence”, the climate of collusion that characterises the dynamics of relationships between family members and “the unveiling”. It was analysed on the concept of ambiguity (Silvia Amati Sas), which functions as a mental position, in relation to family situations in which an incestuous secret exists and persists.

Keywords: family secret, silence, collusion, disclosure, ambiguity.
