Director Statement

This story is a love story between man and man, but I rather shoot this film as an ordinary love story among young people. Today, the world begins to open its mind to homosexuality more than the day before. I think it's time to make films for diversity, especially sexual orientations, to be expressed as a common sense.
In addition, the soundtrack is by one of top French violinist , Thibault Vieux from Opera Paris. Enjoy his beautiful performance as well.
