Biography
Born in June 2002 near the Geneva Lake, I got into cinema school when I was 18. However, it was once plunged into the world of academic art that I eventually gave up — I wanted to write and make films with my friends instead of running after grades. I am now studying social sciences and continue to pursue my dream of, one day, making a living of cinema.
Director's notes
I didn't set out to do anything really special with this little film. In my opinion, it simply shows how difficult it can be to be vulnerable, even with loved ones. I guess I just wanted to show quite literally something that we too often refuse to admit — that it is easier to give up, than to try.
