Director’s statement

It is no secret that technology is developing very rapidly. They comprehensively change our lives before we have time to come to our senses and to doubt them. What seemed unreal twenty years ago, today we can no longer imagine our lives without these "black mirrors." We lose the sense of reality by spending most of our lives in the virtual world.

On the other hand, many people today do not live for the now for other reasons. They are lost in their own pleasant memories or, on the contrary, when analyzing past mistakes, contemplating them again and again, they do not notice the real life passing by. Perhaps one day, these two problems will come together: for example, they will invent a device that allows you to travel through your own memories as if you "experience" them anew countless times. And for many people this may become a real problem - an addiction comparable to drug addiction.

It is the anxiety for this future that our story is dedicated to.
