Director Statement

In this film, I try to explore a child's curiosity in trying to flirt with danger, not being fully aware of how much he is putting himself in risk. Trying to discover life and it's dangers in a playful and naive way. How far can he go to get a play-buddy without putting his well-being at risk.
