Director Statement

This project has been shaped around a real-life loss and its effects afterward. The main focus is overviewing the struggle of dealing with necessities rather than embracing the pain. This short film aimed to look at the grieving process, which we have normalized for centuries, from a different perspective with subtle bitter-sweet humor.
