People say life is like a wheel. Sometimes it's on top, sometimes it's on the bottom. Life is indeed dynamic, no one ever knows what our future will be like.
In life, there are times when we are in a position that attracts the attention of many people. Whether it's a high position, unique, or because of fame. When humans are at the peak of life, many people often look at us. Of course we want to make those people happy, but is it possible?
Cecilia is a woman who loves to dance—depicted as an elegant figure from the outside, but somehow the feelings that are raging inside. Cecilia is depicted as each of us, who are not perfect and trying to do our best, continuing to be pressured by various people's expectations. There are also times when we have become beautiful figures, yet there are still people who are not satisfied with our work.
That's the reason my first debut film as a director is a black and white silent film, considering that not everyone is happy with the concept of a film like this. I hope this film can provide enough meaning for us to reflect on ourselves—about expectations, responsibilities, and the fact that we can never make everyone in this universe happy with our actions.
