Director Statement

By depicting the lives of two people in two completely different stages of life, the story focuses on a relationship that has no place in a conventional society. Instead of having an ordinary narrative structure, this short film mainly focuses on showing the purest desires of a teenage girl and a middle-aged man in a soulful way. Why judge someone when their feelings are pure? Mistakes are part of our growth as humans, and this is the story of a mistake Sadie and Florian will never forget.
