Director’s statement

The main theme of the film is the fear of loneliness. This theme is relevant to modern inhabitants of megacities, where despite the numerous surroundings, people feel lonely and vulnerable.
I was interested in developing within the framework of the short film a full plot which is characteristic of full-length films, to live through one evening with the characters, to transmit the atmosphere of the New Year night when one door closes and another one opens.
I set myself the task to make an aesthetic, light and atmospheric film which would give the viewer a visual and audial pleasure, at the same time making the viewer think about important questions: what happiness is, how to be free from your past and live in the present, how important it is to do things you have never allowed yourself to do before.
