Director Statement
I aim to reflect, through an unsettling lens, the perspective of children during sudden and violent changes, particularly in situations that may seem simple to adults, such as moving to a new house or changing schools. These events significantly affect the child’s environment and development, especially when adults fail to communicate with them, assuming they won’t understand or that it’s simply not important. This short film seeks to shed light on these subtle forms of abuse by adults, with the hope that viewers can see through it.
