Director's Statement
COVID19. Is it the end of the world? Is it the world's answer to the ecological catastrophes caused by humans? Can it be cured or can it be stopped? Will life be the same anymore? We do not know.
However we have lost a lot. A lot of lives, a lot of love, a lot of memories. This film is an ode to such lost loves which remained unfulfilled as the pandemic hit and left nothing but oblivion.
