Director Statement

What is really love? What would you be able to do for love? How far would you be willing to push yourself for love? Through this short film, we have not tried to give answers to these questions but we would like the spectator to ask them and reflect. We have represented a destroyed man with a heart torn by suffering but who, nevertheless, has accepted the will of the person he loves, even if he does not understand the reasons all the way.
