Director Statement

We can go through our life, do all that we are expected of, take care of our basic needs, eat, sleep, repeat. But is there a reason to do any of it if no emotion accompany the action? If there is no motivation, no satisfaction?
On the other side, the side that this film explores, if we will stop doing anything that feels meaningless and wait for that feeling, we might not do anything at all.
Perhaps, the realization of the finitude of life, the fear of death, it's grace, those can save us from waiting endlessly and sinking in the depth of the doubt.
