Experiencing Interruptions?

Apollo, Daphne and darkness

After reports of mass rapes that were committed mainly against women and girls in India, I've decided to make a film about lust, desire and ruined relationship. Inspiration to me was the story of Apollo and Daphne. Apollo with his boundless desire completely destroyed the relationship which may arise between him and Daphne. Then both must acquire a new form of being.
