"Favourite" is my umpteenth work about deception. In this case instincts are the main responsibles for the trick. Film is the ideal medium to express this kind of stuff, since it exists only thanks to the illusion that 24 pictures, put one after the other, make a satisfactory imitation of reality. Many clues are hidden, but many are part of another story, so... don't fool yourself too much.
