Director Statement

Burn out syndrome is a first world problem. Many people criticize my film, saying that in the wake of a war or a pandemic it’s not important enough, they have so many friends, who have the same problem… And this is exactly why I made this film, and why I believe it is so important. Being burned out, or feeling that we are not good enough, interesting enough or talented enough is an epidemic in the modern world. My film is about a man, who tries to face himself, and try to change his life for the better. Is this the solution? And more importantly is this the real problem he has? These are my questions I try to answer in this film.

After the Hungarian premiere I got a vast support from the audience. As I thought they can relate to this story, because it is their story. I hope getting into festivals means that a lot of people can watch this film, and have the empowering feeling that they are not alone, and that their story is important enough.
