Director’s statement
In this film I explored the ambiguity of art, its boundaries, forms, and meanings. For the sake of their idea, the artist is ready to make sacrifices - I felt it on myself when I made this film. But the main question is how far can one go in implementing one's own ideas? Where does ideology end and immorality begin?
