Director Statement

I ask myself: What is the world? We live in a time hole and our life is interspersed with shared holes of nonsense. We're always in the hole, trying to earn a living. Our memory ends in the hole of forgetting. There is the harmful ozone hole; the inexplicable black hole. Atoms are more empty than full, they are full of holes. In the ground there are holes full of trash and holes full of coal. There is a hole in our heart when we lose our lover. A window is a hole in the wall. There is also a hole in the film "Personal Life of the Hole". Holy hole, what to do with all these holes?! The film contemplates contemporary culture, ecology, economics, and finally, love.
