About My Man
By means of a monologue, the woman tries to comprehend why her husband was poisoned. In the course of the story it can be sensed that she played a significant part in the poisoning. Thus it was not by coincidence that she had taken her children to her mother’s place that day, cooked her husband’s beloved chili for him, and waited what would happen after he ate that chili.

I wanted to show with the film how reality and our idea of reality can fall apart. And traditional marriage is a good example of that: one does not believe in the dreams and ideals that should be achieved or realized – one rather believes their own created reality by forcing one’s beliefs about happiness into becoming reality. One embellishes reality in order not to have to confront oneself with problems. And in the case of the protagonist – this is done at any price.
