Director's comment

I made a “disaster movie” about man-woman relationships. The conjugal infidelity serves as the driving force of my story. lt is a movie about hidden emotions and thoughts. About things that possibly do not even have names in human language. We excluded many things from our movie: the city the protagonists live in, their friends, their enemies. There is only the air full of infidelity, the space of infidelity, the flesh embodying infidelity. Every detail emphasises the ardent desire of the protagonists not to stay lonely and their instinctive yearning to love somebody. It is a movie about hidden emotions and thoughts; about things that possibly don’t even have names in human language.
