Director Statement

This is my first ever shortfilm, I made this project in 2020 for an exam in my academy.
I shot it without any budget and entirely on my own due to the covid-19 pandemic. it's entirely set in my home and the leading actresses are my sister and my best friend.
What I wanted to convey in those 3 minutes is the love that binds two people and that manifests itself in the act of care.
