Director Statement

The movie “Surprise” was inspired by the unique tradition of “pretending to forget” in celebrations, where celebrations often arise from surprises. I wanted to explore the emotional dynamics that occur when someone feels forgotten on their special day, only to be faced with a dilemma and surprise. The tradition of pretending to forget in order to surprise becomes a way for us to express love and care, despite the moral quandary behind it.

Through the tradition of pretending to forget in order to surprise, the movie explores how love and care are often expressed in unexpected ways. On the other hand, Sakra's act of stealing his parents' money is a reflection of how disappointment and unfulfilled desires can lead one to a moral dilemma.

With this movie, I hope to reinforce the old perspective that celebrating special moments can be done with a surprise and that true celebration lies in the love and lessons we share with each other.
