Director’s statement
I made a movie about lonely people. I think that we live in a world where the patriarchal views of family are at the threshold of complete disappearance. Every day there are less and less people who want to preserve their relationships or build a family. There is always something lacking. And we go on a journey. I was interested in watching how the world of relationships changes and thinking about where this freedom will lead. This is by far not an ideal world. There is nothing ideal in nature. Although that was the title of my film. It was my intention of putting the characters in an artificial little box called “The City N”, giving my story the semblance of a made-up absurdity. As someone who is studying “the ideal” I decided to use a light comedic genre to tell you about the problems lonely people face.
