Director Statement

Growing up in a world that has pre-defined gender roles in society has always been problematic for me. As a man, you are expected to work, earn and make a living for your family, whereas as a woman, you are expected to take care of the family inside the homes and the kitchens. This conditioning of the mind happens from a very young age and you are not allowed to break these shackles of gender. But what if you did? What would that world be like? This thought excited me and I decided to make this film.
