Director Statement

In my previous films, I've always focused on family relationships, and there isn't a more dramatic situation than when a parent has to choose between two fatal choices. In this case, it's the decision of whether to turn the son in and hope to save his life. Both choices involve having to accept as reality something that is impossible to come to terms with. And our main character has to make the decision within 10 minutes. The story is loosely inspired by real events from December 2019.
