Director Statement

This short film is a very personal story. It's something that's been on my mind since I graduated from school. There was a girl in my life who one day left because her family forced her into marriage. Since then, I've wondered what it would be like if we ever met again. This film is inspired by all the memories I have of her. I have tried to recreate our world, our meetings, and the conversations we had, but with a twist at the end.

The ending is something different, making this film a tribute to her and to every girl who is stuck and looking for an escape to be free, to live life, and to love the way she wants.
