Director Statement

Many years after elementary school, I ran into my close friend from these times, who told me her story of a rape attempt that happened when we were both thirteen years old. I was horrified when I realized that the taxi driver who tried to rape her is still working in the neighbourhood of our hometown. I could not stop thinking about the details of her story, and the fact that I, as well as none of the other friends in the class, never heard about what happened. That is why I felt the need to tell this story and dedicate it to her, as well as to attempt to deal with the problem of distrust on the part of society towards victims.

Even though most of the elements of the film serve a realist perspective, the goal of the film is not to be objective. Because the role of Saška is so important for the story, the narrative is told in consideration of her position, but not using her point of view.
