Escape : hAbeL

Habel experiences her own inner turmoil. He is torn between the clash of good and evil within him. Habel decides to choose the good side in himself.
Thus, he thinks that a good personality cannot cope with the bad. Habel flees from evil and all that is bad.

Habel tries to escape but is caught by the villain's trap. Habel neutralizes evil at the first opportunity. Habel listens to the good voice inside and lends a helping hand to the bad guy, but that's the end of Habel.

Director Statement

There are many reasons to be a hostage in this life. Every person has an important question to ask himself for freedom.

"will you let it take you hostage?”

Freedom is our choice, slavery is our choice. The decision is yours.
