Director Statement

The film contains cold dim light that reflects gloomy morning mood and the atmosphere of melancholy and anxiety. The main character has been depressed since the morning. She needs to get ready for new working day: put uncomfortable clothes and a lot of makeup on. Her inner self resists it. She starts to dress and makeup and sees a monster in the mirror instead of herself. Monster - Alien - these are the social masks that we wear to fit World.

At the end of the film, she frees herself from conventions - she leaves the house totally naked, finally accepts herself. This is the main message of the film.
