Director Statement

It was important to me to show the inner experience of a sexual assault survivor. The idea that the trauma doesn't go away and stays in the survivors' lives. What led me to write the script is a period of time when there were many stories about rapes, assaults and horrifying stories on the news. It made me think that we are forgetting very quickly what the survivors will always remember.
Most of the plot is conveyed in a surrealistic way because we are dealing with a person's consciousness, there is no logic in our consciousness. Therefore the cinematic technique of the film tries to simulate human’s trauma. As beautiful as it is, it is cruel.
