Director Statement

I have made this unconventional movie to show the difficulty people have in trusting each other and making decisions. Would a bad decision made for a noble cause excuse its immoral means? To what extent?

As an international filmmaker, I have been dealing professionally and personally with people from multiple backgrounds, and each culture I have encountered presents a different life perspective that might contradict with my own. Therefore, I discovered the importance of these shifts in perception that people have, which drove me to make a film about the complexity of human nature and how everyone can be both right and wrong at the same time in their beliefs.
