“The main intention of this story is to delve into the human need to live in relationship with others, the importance of having someone by our sides. To narrate those moments of loneliness in life, when you hit rock bottom and can only go up. In this film, I wanted to talk about loneliness and the strength of blood, of family. We cannot deny our own nature. We can try to run away, but we can never run away from ourselves.

The protagonist lives locked up within himself, and we created a claustrophobic atmosphere that emphasizes that idea. I also reflect on how we deal with change. The ability of each character to adapt to their new, inescapable reality initially is diametrically opposed. The father is unable to adapt, while the son tries with all his might. Fortunately, they both go through this roller coaster of conflicting feelings together and eventually end up meeting in the middle. In reality, they both share the same fear: being alone.

How long can we endure being totally isolated without opening up and trusting someone? I hope each viewer will find their own answers.”
