Director's Statement
I grew up with the most selfless grandparents and I always wanted to find a way to celebrate them. As my grandma got older, I wanted to know more of their story, capturing it on film flashed in my mind. Soon I began my own reflections on love, time and memory. I sought to explore the essence of falling in love – a fantasy tucked into the real world, where everything feels possible, and time ceases to exist.
