Director Statement

The intensity of the end of the cycle, the transformation, the death and the decision to be reborn can be seen in the moment of change of a woman, where the pressure is only supported by creating a sub-reality, in contrast to what finds coherence in what is socially expected of her. This short film invite the audience to go through a labyrinth where the woman manages to break with the normal, search for meaning, bury external voices in the telephone and decisively launch herself into the depths of her emotion. The contact with the water and the sphere function as feminine symbols. The shots seek to enter the vertigo of the character and invite us to witness her most intimate crisis.
