Director Statement

What is it that makes us fall in love? Is it looks, money, or status, or perhaps raw attraction? What truly reveals why our friends, family, and loved ones cherish us? What if one day, whatever that may be, simply vanishes? Would they feel any different?
This short film is dedicated to all the women and girls around the world who fear the judgmental nature of our society, and to all the people who struggle to be accepted for the beauty of their souls rather than the nuances of their physique. The world can be cruel and dark, but kind and loving hearts will always emerge, shining through the obscurity.
