DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
In every relationship, whether with another person or a situation, there exists a delicate balance between love and selfishness—a line easily crossed without awareness. While crafting this film, my aim was to explore this dynamic within myself and those around me. The duality of human nature remains one of the most captivating and intriguing aspects of our world.
