Director’s statement
In the 21st century we’re facing a choice. A choice between “what needs to be done” and what “we want to do”. I think that every person has the right to choose, to choose what he or she wants, if it doesn’t harm other people. That’s why I made this film, a film where freedom fights traditions and ideology.
